Automatic connection retries #5234

Description

@PlatinMTA

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When you try to connect to a server the connection might fail, due to the server being offline or other factors. It would be nice if MTA did an retry of the connection if it failed up to x5 times (like how GoldSrc games used to do). The CEGUI that displays the connection status (connecting... joining... failed to connect) should show that you are retrying to connect and how many retries have happened.

Describe the solution you'd like

Just an auto-retry.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None, it's just annoying to minimize your game and come back with a connection issue, having to press join again and then actually join. Sometimes the server might be busy so the connection gets dropped too early.

Additional context

This might be already happening but the retries are too few. Also the CEGUI doesn't really show what is happening other than "Connecting to server..."
