Changes And Improvements:
v1.2(Stable)
- Fixed The Better Archimedes II Beam From Ending Prematurely

v1.1(Stable)
- Removed The seperate DOT Effects And Conditions Which Were Causing An Issue That NVAC Was Handling

• DOT Damage Applies To Everyone In This Version
• iDamageOverTimeTeam & iDamageOverTimeNPC Will Have No Effect On DOT Damage When Using This Version
• - They Will Still Affect bInstantKill
  

- I'm Not Sure How Necessary This Is, But I Wanted To Give People The Option

• "a" & "h" NVAC Entries May Not Be A Big Deal
  

v1.0.1(Unstable - NVAC Probably Required)
- Fixed DOT Damage Not Being Applied
- Fixed The Better Archimedes II Beam From Ending Prematurely

Known Issues:
- During Testing I Had An Occasional CTD When Firing And Then Firing The Weapon Soon After

• To Help Fix This I Added A Check That Won't Allow Targeting While An Actor Is Still Affected By The DOT Effect
• May Make It Difficult To Fire Consecutively When Duration Is Set High
• It Hasn't Happened To Me Since This Fix, But Let Me Know If It Happens And How If You Can Get It To Happen Consistently
  

- Sometimes The Targeting FX Don't Show Up Right Away
- Gives Unarmed Challenge Progress On Occasion For Some Reason

• No Idea Why, But It Seems Intermittent
  

- Holstering Weapon Right After Firing Seems To Cause Some NPCs Hit With 0 Damage To Become Hostile

• Just Don't Holster Your Weapon Immediately If You Notice This Issue 
• Waiting Till The Flames Visual Effect Stops Seems To Do The Trick
