Fix for Economics.

If you don't have the newest Economics and use Economics; you should update it prior to this!
Added a variable for the Physical giveaway so it gives that item instantly and it is the EXACT same item. Previously it was asked to have the ability to give a Note with a promocode written on it. Therefore, I went ahead and added a "true" option to the /giveaway command. So if you type /giveaway true ---> it will not give the item you are holding to an online player. This is helpful for two reasons. One it solves the problem of giving say a custom note or map or whatever. Two it allows servers with the IncludeSleepers option set to true to do certain giveaways that will still only raffle to online players. Win win!

I also fixed Kits. It was erroring on the chat command but otherwise would have worked. I tested it and it is good. To give a Kit simply type /giveaway <kitname> .. please note giving more then one does not give more charges.

Although I did my fair share of testing; these changes did constitute some code refactoring so please report any bugs! Thanks!

This version has a new config and includes a Data File. If upgrading from an old version please backup your old config if you want to keep the Giveaway list.

See the 'Overview' for a new YouTube demo as well as an explanation of everything to do with this plugin!
Added Kits as a giveaway. Simply add the kit name for the "GiveAway_Name".

minor tweak to logic, tested auto, and manual giveaways all worked fine.
Changed the Giveaway process for a much more efficient and fail safe method. I had a ton of timers before and eliminated all but 1.

It works great, let me know if you find any issue.
Physical Item Giveaways (Notes with a written code for example):
Giveaways are initiated automatically or specifically by an admin. If initiated by an ingame admin the item given away can be a physical item. This requires the admin is holding the item (ActiveItem). So to give away a note with a code written on it (example from the support forum), the admin would get a note, write on it, and then hold it in hand. While holding it they will type /giveaway A_NAME_FOR_GIVEAWAY ... This will automatically remove the note from the admins inventory and randomly give it to a player online just as any other giveaway.

Physical Items Only:
Chat: /giveaway SpecialName
Example: /giveaway PromoCode
---> Note.. the name should not be an actual item.shortname; or it will error/fail.

RequiredPlayers = 2, Sets the required players online to have a giveaway occur. This does not include Auth1 and Auth2 if ExcludeAuth_1_2 is set to true.

ExcludeAuth_1_2 = false, Sets whether Auth1 and Auth2 are included in Giveaways.
AnnounceGiveawayStarting = false, Sets whether a 20 second announcement occurs saying.. to clear inventory space for the upcoming giveaway!
