Description
Issue
Teleportation system is rather fragile, can be a cause of disconnects
Suggestion
- 'Keep alive' messages from server to viewer. Ones that also reports progress. Viewer runs a timer, if server doesn't report in time viewer disconnects. Having a 'keep alive' would reduce risk of diconecting due to server being slow, having status in those would make teleport progress more responsive
- Fallback. If teleport failed viewer should have a way to teleport to previous location.
- Better error reporting on both sides and server should pass any errors to viewer, viewer should logout (with reason packed into the logout?) if something is wrong viewer side.
