[Bug 14313] New: Areena 5 help pages don't work at all

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14313

Summary: Areena 5 help pages don't work at all
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P4
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

In the game Areena 5, I can't use the help pages at all. They aren't very
important part of the game. In fact the help pages are quite useless, but I
submit a bug report, because I think this bug is blocking the Platinum rating
for the game.

So there is a menu called Apua -> Ohje (in English something like: Help -> Help
Contents). When I click it nothing happens. So the help pages can't be used at
all.

There are AREHELP.HLP and AREHELP.GID files in the game folder. All the help
data can be found the in somewhat packed format.

This will show up every time I click the help:
fixme:ole:OLEPictureImpl_Render Not quite correct implementation of rendering
icons...

I think that it has pretty much nothing to do with the real problem, but
anyways.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.20 or newer) wine?

Abandoned. If this is still an issue in current (1.1.32 or newer) wine, and you
can provide the needed information, feel free to reopen.

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 6
months. Is this still an issue in current (1.3.16 or newer) wine?

Created an attachment (id=33859)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=33859)
Output when trying to open the help

This bug still occures. I attached the output that is printed every time I try
to open the help pages. Nothing seems to happen in the game.

Here is the source code that needs some change

http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/blob/b27735e807043b6e24af971f74237b9e5...

Wine seems to return this line

WINE_FIXME("Unhandled command (%x) for remote winhelp control\n",
wh->command);

(In reply to narri from comment #13)
> the same 1.7.42

Still valid 1.9.21. There seems to be multiple cases that are not implemented.

The strange thig is that wine-staging doesnt seem to show the application
background picture at page where you can start a new game.

The associated help file could be read by winehelp:

wget http://www.seppos.net/areena/AREHELP.HLP
wine winhlp32.exe AREHELP.HLP

$wine --version
wine-3.0-rc1

So this seems to be rather an issue with invoking wine help or fixed. I don't
speak Finnish, please retest.
