SimulPicks 0.2 (BETA)

Everyone picks their card at the same time — using the game's real pick screen. No more waiting through sequential pick turns: every entitled player drafts privately and simultaneously on their own screen, and the round starts when everyone is done (or the timer runs out — nobody is ever waited on forever).

What changed vs 0.1 (complete rebuild)

0.2 runs ROUNDS' native pick flow locally per client instead of replacing it:

Native everything: real card intro, selection animation, hands, sounds, scale.
Who picks is always the game's decision: everyone at game start, losers after points/rounds — winners never pick (0.1's bug).
Extra picks work: Pick_N_Cards rounds, PickPhaseImprovements grants, AALUND13 devil/curse cards — the real extra-pick engine runs inside your session.
Freeze-proof by construction: every wait is timeout-bounded and re-checks room membership; leavers/AFKs get skipped, never waited on. Continue-after-win and rematch hard-reset the mod's state (0.1's fatal bug).
Host-authoritative results: the host decides the final pick list and everyone applies exactly the same set — no cross-client drift.

Requirements & known limitations

Every player in the lobby must run this mod (same version).
Disable PickTimer — SimulPicks has its own pick timer (configurable).
Card-delete-on-your-turn mods are disabled during simultaneous phases.
Hook-driven special picks (e.g. WWM curse draws) run sequentially after the simultaneous batch finishes — by design, they stay fully vanilla.
DrawNCards per-player hand-size bonuses granted mid-session may only take effect when the host is the picker (upstream master-gate; harmless).
Keyboard/mouse and controller both work (it's the native pick UI).

Config (BepInEx/config/com.redredrain.rounds.simulpicks.cfg)

PickTimeSeconds (default 45) — per pick session before auto-pick of the highlighted card.

Testing / debug

Alone in sandbox or offline: F9 runs one full pick cycle on demand.

Beta note

Extensively machine-verified against the full modded pick pipeline (110+ analysis agents over the actual game/mod bytecode), but simultaneous picking is new territory: report anything odd with your BepInEx log. Uninstalling instantly returns you to vanilla sequential picks.
