Errors creating stairs with a metadata

[Jed]

I'm partway through making a Customstuff mod which gives me glowblocks. The mod can be downloaded HERE You can leave it zipped if you wish to test. Its running on Customstuff 2 version : CustomStuff2-0.11.29-MC1.7.10

Things were going well until I made some stairs. The metadata 0 stairs work fine, however, those stairs with a metadata higher than 0 give odd results.

1) When placed in the world, they are upsidedown

2) They don't appear in creative, even if you specify (no problem, just mentioning)

3) When broke, they always drop metadata 0, even if otherwise is specified

4) They don't pick up the correct texture file. In the stairs I've made in this mod, there are all 16 metadata's used for coloured stairs, with the appropriate coloured texture, however, no matter which stair colour you make, you always get metadata 0's texture.

If I've done something amiss, my apologies, I am unable to see it. All the normal blocks I've done are working great. I know you are moving on to Customstuff 3, not sure if you can assist with Customstuff 2. I've tried it on SSP and SMP with the same results.

The problem is that stairs already use metadata to store their direction which means that you can't have variants using metadata.
