Getting a character to actually work

What do I need to do to get a model to actually operate as a character?
I've created the shape and managed to get it to show up in the torque engine. I called the object "Player", I added "Mount0" and "Mount1", I added the "Eye" and "Cam" objects and re-exported. I ran UnMessDTS on it and replaced the player.dts with my new player.dts file.
When I run torque on the scortched earth level, it starts loading and then crashes. I tried to modify the .cs file but that didn't help at all. What exactly do I need to do to take a shape from just a normal dts to one that I can actually control? I don't care about animations at this point. I just want to get the character attached to the camera.

Go for it and release your resources. Should be helpful to people who needs a alternative. :)

Just send me an email and the max file. I will fix any issues and send you a working max file back. Also I will do a simple report as to what was changed. Then you can pick it appart and see how it is set up.
