Description

When accessing in game help through Help → Help, where the help content should be, there is just a short error like e.g. "Error: The page address is malformed: file:/gamedev.bnp@help_en.html"

With the help of Kaetemi I have tried what happens when I place a simple HTML file in the 'data/' folder and in that case all that happens is that the error changes to e.g. "Error: The page address is malformed: file:/data/help_en.html".

Otherwise the in game browser seems to work — I tested it on E-mail, Forum etc. and the Help window is the only ones that doesn't.

Also 'log.log' doesn't mention any error or warning regarding this bug.

It seems like local HTML files can't be parsed by libwww because to a crash while passing FILE* as custom pointer.

See this issue #892

Can I help pin-point this bug in any way?

#3 Updated by hook about 7 years ago

I tried what happens if I install libwww-5.4.0 ...and the anwser is as short as annoying: nothing — the bug persists.
