Problem with torque3d blank project.

Ok so until now i was working on samples and full project but I decided after alll that i was going to go with a blank project to do my game in. Things have been moving quite smoothly i created terrain using the tutorial quite nicely and also added a character added some art files and things were going smoothly but really quiet as i had not added sound.

So i added water and it works well but my guy makes no sound going through it (footsteps)... I though there were sounds but the blank version must take them out. So i readded the sound files so i could use them for the tech demo of the game. I went back into the game hit the sound dropdowns in the player and they still dont show up. I looked all around the site and there are no tutorials on getting these added back in.

So to make a long story short. Can someone let me know how to do this either in a tutorial style or just as a responce here cause no sound makes for a quiet game (It's kinda creepy).

Thanks for your help in advance!

Since the Empty Template doesn't include a default player datablock or it's supporting fx, you'll have to make sure that that the supporting sound and other fx datablocks are added as well. For sound this means creating the SFXprofiles that the player will use - making sure that they exist before the player datablock is created.

ok so i have to create a SFX profile and then recreate my player datablock so that it will have them included. I see. I can handle that. I was kinda wondering im just getting into datablock stuff. Ill post here if i have more questions.
