[Mars-sim-users] bug tracking

[st.pa <st...@gm...>]

hello world.

i found msp a couple of days ago and like it a lot. but there are a few 
minor issues with the ui that could be easily fixed, but it seems i need 
to register for the bug tracking tool 
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mantisbt/mars-sim/login.php --> "APPLICATION 
ERROR #805 The username is invalid. Usernames may only contain Latin 
letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, and underscores."

since this is my first contact with maven, i have not yet been able to 
resolve all errors and issues after checking out the project, only been 
able to do some minor changes to the settlements and people xml files in 
jars/mars-sim-core.jar/conf/ so i always have personel with material 
sciences level 4 and a workshop at my favorite longitude&latitude on mars.

one thing i noticed was, that the light utility vehicle i produced at my 
alpha base from scratch was given the type "light utility vehicle" lower 
case plus a name from the list of rover names and was not available for 
towing in mining or construction missions like the default LUVs whose 
type is "Light Utility Vehicle" upper case. in the manufacturing xml the 
parts all seem to have lower case names, while the prefab LUVs shipped 
from earth via resupply mission work like a charm and come in upper case.

another thing i noticed: when nobody has material sciences level high 
enough to carry out some manufacturing, the process is sometimes 
cancelled automatically. it seems that in those cases the materials that 
went into the process when starting it are lost when it is a cancelled.

yet another thing: the monitor tool allows sorting tables by clicking 
column headers, but it also allows to switch columns by drag&drop and 
even to hide columns. those colum reorderings and the sorting function 
are in conflict. the sorting takes place for the n-th original column 
instead of the n-th visible column.

and there are other minor things, probably most of them related to the 
user interface, since i've only been looking at the thing for two days.

anyway, please let me know how to properly submit those bugs to your bug 
tracking system while i figure out how to convince maven to build from 
source and start submitting fixes on my own.
