setVectorUp [0,0,1] put that in the init of the object =)

Open bans.txt in your Battleye directory.
Add guid or ip to ban a range of ips just add in this format 192.168.*.* 0 <-- the Zero is a perma ban

Or

Log onto server through R-con
 
ban [player #] [time in minutes ] [reason] Ban a player's BE GUID from the server. If time is not specified or 0, the ban will be permanent. Optionally you can also display a reason.   addBan [GUID or IP address] [time in minutes] [reason] Same as "ban", but allows to ban a player that is not currently on the server.   writeBans Re-write the current ban list to bans.txt.
