Using terraformer.cc

I am currently working on a project for randomly generated terrains using the torque terraformer class. I'm having trouble getting anything to work. I keep getting segmentation faults that seem to be stemming from the ResourceManager. The trouble is that there's little documentation out there for engine modifications and trying to reason through all the code is a little daunting. Is there anyone out there that knows where to start with actual c++ modification and using the terraformer class? Here's my main() by the way:

#include "editor\terraformer.h"
#include "stdio.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
Terraformer *generator;
Heightfield *map;
U32 heightMapHandle = 0;


ResourceManager->create();

generator = new Terraformer();

generator->clearRegister(heightMapHandle);

generator->terrainFile(heightMapHandle,"C:\\GarageGames\\v12\\example\\data\\terrains\\test\\test1.ter");
delete generator;

return 0;
}


Thanks for your help.
