[DX11] SlopeLadder by KSY

Description
A ladder - after a fashion. During a stream by w4stedspace, someone called RoofLes suggested that a mod be created that add ladders as re-modeled 2x1 slopes since that's the closest that a block mod can come to adding ladders at the moment. I thought it was a cute idea, so I did it. That said:

KSY PRESENTS: The Slope Ladder
It's a ladder. It's a slope. That's about it. It's pretty cheap and pretty light because I really didn't think it'd be something that one could take advantage of, but if anyone has any reccomendations for different values that would be helpful.

WHAT ARE YOU REALLY GETTING?
A ladder. It's 2x1. It has little lights on it. It's fully colorable (the ladder, not the lights, although if you want colorable lights feel free to leave a comment). It can be placed in either 1 2x1 block or two 1x1 blocks, and there is a version (2x1) that actually emits light.

OTHER INFO
DX11 + Mostly DX9 Combatible. The DX9 colorable system is strange and confusing. I'm not sure if it will ever look right, but I intend to find a way to make it color better in DX9 at some point soon.

I don't have the free time to get that done right now, sorry. I don't mind linking to such a mod in the description if you or someone else creates it though! And I appreciate the suggestion.

Could you maybe update the model to be in line with the catwalk stairs aesthetic in the vanilla game? Honestly I just want someone to take the default half stairs and squish the model to make it a 2x1 slope.

On second thought, I've looked at what I think it might be, and I'm pretty stumped. Could you double check that this happens in a world with no other mods enabled? if it does, I'm kinda lost.

Line 432, to your second question. As to the crash, I think I may know what's causing it, thank you.

@Void Stitch Thanks! I can't help you without a crashlog, though. I'll update the Issues thread with brief instructions

@Crimson Revenant thanks! Glad you find it useful! I actually learned that people used stairs that way /after/ I made the mod, It's rather amusing. The stairs pointing the wrong direction would bug me a bit too much, I think. ^^
