SimulPicks (BETA)
Everyone picks their card at the same time. No more waiting through four sequential
pick turns - every player gets their own hand of cards simultaneously, picks in private,
and the round starts once everyone has chosen (or the timer runs out).
How it works
- At each pick phase, every player is dealt their own hand locally (default 5 cards),
generated with the same rules as vanilla: rarities, class restrictions, blacklists and
card conditions from your other mods all apply.
- Pick with ←/→ or A/D + Enter/Space, or hover with the mouse and click.
- A pick timer runs (default 30s). If it expires, your currently highlighted card is
auto-picked. Players who disconnect or never respond are skipped, never waited on -
the round always starts.
- Once all picks are in, the host applies everyone's card through ModdingUtils'
standard networked path.
Important
- Every player in the lobby must have this mod installed. Mixed lobbies will break
the pick phase.
- Disable PickTimer if you use it - SimulPicks has its own timer and the two will
fight over the pick flow.
- This is a beta: tested locally, needs real lobby feedback. If a pick phase acts up,
report what happened (and grab your BepInEx log) - and you can just uninstall it to
return to vanilla sequential picks.
Testing / debug
Alone in sandbox (or offline), press F9 to run a full draft cycle on demand.
Config (BepInEx/config/com.adam.rounds.simulpicks.cfg)
PickTimeSeconds (default 30) - how long each player has to pick.
DraftSize (default 5) - cards offered per player.
Known limitations (beta)
- Draft input is keyboard/mouse only for now (controller support planned).
- Card-bar "delete a card" style mods that consume your pick turn are untested with
simultaneous drafting.
- The vanilla "P2 is picking" banner may flash briefly between phases - cosmetic only.
