It could be your home firewall blocking port 28785 or the Rigatoni IP.
If you were filtered at the server you'd get a different error message so I'd assume the problem is on your place.
Can you connect to the other servers?

Some commands are server specific and they start with the "#", for example in the pasta servers like Rigatoni and Spirit of Pasta you just need to type #help and you get a list of possible commands.

Some other commands are Sauer specific, they start with the "/", for example /showclientnum.

Of course the main documentation and the Cube engine wiki are the starting place to look for information.

Unfortunately I've never seen a complete list of the available commands, I usually look them up directly in the Sauer source code, which comes for free when you install the game. This might be daunting at first but you get to tune every single detail of the game so let me show you how to find these commands:

• locate the folder where you installed Sauerbraten. Source files are there. What you want to open is the file src/shared/command.h
• around line 262 you'll find this:

// nasty macros for registering script functions, abuses globals to avoid excessive infrastructure
...
#define _VAR(name, global, min, cur, max, persist)  int global = variable(#name, min, cur, max, &global, NULL, persist)
#define VARN(name, global, min, cur, max) _VAR(name, global, min, cur, max, 0)
#define VARNP(name, global, min, cur, max) _VAR(name, global, min, cur, max, IDF_PERSIST)
#define VARNR(name, global, min, cur, max) _VAR(name, global, min, cur, max, IDF_OVERRIDE)
#define VAR(name, min, cur, max) _VAR(name, name, min, cur, max, 0)
#define VARP(name, min, cur, max) _VAR(name, name, min, cur, max, IDF_PERSIST)
#define VARR(name, min, cur, max) _VAR(name, name, min, cur, max, IDF_OVERRIDE)
...

• basically all Sauer commands that you can call are declared using "VARN", "VARNP", "VARNR", etc...
• these command declarations are scattered around a few files in the Sauerbraten source files, so fire up your favorite text editor or IDE and have it search among all files in the "src" folder and subfolders for lines of text starting with "VARN", "VARNP", "VARNR" and so on.

For example you might stumble upon these lines in the file scoreboard.cpp:

VARP(scoreboard2d, 0, 1, 1);
VARP(showservinfo, 0, 1, 1);
VARP(showclientnum, 0, 0, 1);  
VARP(showpj, 0, 0, 1);
VARP(showping, 0, 1, 1);
VARP(showspectators, 0, 1, 1);
VARP(highlightscore, 0, 1, 1);
VARP(showconnecting, 0, 0, 1);

Now you just found the commands "scoreboard2d", "showserverinfo", "showclientnum", "showpj", etc.. and according to the "VARP" declaration we have seen before the 3 numbers following the name of the command are the minimum value, current value and maximum value the command can accept.

There's plenty of commands. Some are useful, some are not. Have fun hunting them down.

This is the bore-o-meter. It displays the amount of boredom reading this forum.

Please keep posting to bring it down again!

No news, good news.

Well, the original "Pastaland" was a server written by "Gustavo Lapasta", based on "spaghettimod". Just by the names you can tell it had its own somewhat particular character and I cannot imagine having a Pastaland server without jokes. The Jokes section was created on purpose to include new jokes suggested by the community, and it actually served well.
Get rid of the jokes and you might as well rename Rigatoni into "Yet another sauer server".

Guys please let's communicate in English.
