Waterblock causes crash

Hey, firsts things first. Yes I have read the common known issues thread before posting this. For those who haven't or don't know what I'm talking about it's one of the sticky threads in this section and it's here.

I found a part in that thread about adding some code to help with the waterblock causing TGEA to crash. Sadly even with the info I've found so far I've not been able to get the waterblock tool working. TGEA crashes everytime. I'm using TGEA 1.8.1. I'm trying to go about creating a river and waterfall but like I said; "I've not been able to get the waterblock tool working."
Anyone have any ideas or mind telling me how they got theirs working? I just got back into torque and not to long ago bought TGEA. So I just reinstalled it. Downloaded my compiler and did what changes were needed but still no luck.

Stupid question: Have you added the necessary CustomMaterial to the correct file? The known issues list says it is missing from the Template project, but if you've already created a custom project based on that template, it needs to be added to the file in your project, of course.

Are there any errors in the console.log prior to the crash?

Aye, I added to the file in my project. And as far as errors none in the log.
Still unable to figure it out. I started my project using the "SetupNewProject" generator. So it bases it after the template. I added what was needed in both that for future generated project and my actual project file location. But still it crashes. :\

Well this is odd. But then these things always happen to only me. I couldn't figure this problem out for 2 days. Then when I got up earlier and thought I'd give it another go I didn't change anything and simply went in to TGEA and added a water block....... and it worked. So for some unknown it wasn't working last night or the night before. But it is this morning.
