Suppose that I made myself a vanilla private server (using SingleCore_Vanilla), which now works perfectly with the 1.12.1 launcher and I enjoy using it. However, I also made an Admin and a GM account using the Account Creator, the same one I used for making my own, normal player account which works perfectly. Those two accounts (the Admin and GM) also work fine, in the sense that I can make characters and play normally. However, I tried (on both accounts) to write GM commands into the chat and in the macros, with and without '.' and with or without '/', trying all the things I saw done on the internet and nothing works. Does anyone know how to enter these commands properly? (because there are so many tutorials for different versions that I feel I was using the wrong ones)

Slash commands are hooks left by the developers that players can use to create macros or perform certain actions. Text-based chat in World of Warcraft uses slash commands. (Those familiar with IRC will feel right at home.) The List of Slash Commands lists most of the commands available from the.

Introduction
What is CMaNGOS
What is Celestis
Celestis is the name of the hypothetical server, a fork of the CMaNGOS server emulation software written as a hypothetical installation guide with server and game related tips. Celestis takes a look into hypothetical installation of a CMaNGOS classic-server.
Hypothetical CMaNGOS Installation
Specific Guide
This guide is mostly complete with a few changes listed below: CMaNGOS Guide
Setting up on Virtualbox
TODO~
Virtual Box Guest Additions
Password and username of MySQL mangos and mangos
mysqld --skip-grant-tables
Setting up on AWS
We'll be using an AWS t2.micro EC2 instance which should allow probably 5-10 players with no issues
We'll be using AWS Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS build
First thing we should do is setup our directory structure
Create user mangos and change login to them
Clone repositories
Now we can compile the build
make
config files
edit /home/mangos/run/etc/mangosd.conf and change this line to:
Extracting the map files
This part is listed in this section of the guide. I would highly recomend just installing your WoW client on windows, and running those scripts to get your needed vmaps maps dbc folders. Note that the scripts seem not to include .exe extensions to files, which should be added. Also note you need to extract from a vanilla 1.12.1 client.
Importing Databases
Initializing the world
Initialize Installer config
At this point add to the following lines:
Install
More database stuff
Setting up your public ip address, and opening ports
From within your EC2 instance Security Group add 2 inbound rules
Running the server
This section gets a bit complicated due to the implementation I chose. When running the server you get access to a shell to do commands onto the server. For this I wanted to have a running detatchable SCREEN instance as to allow easy ssh access to the shell without disrupting the server.
First we need to make 2 files to run our server
/home/mangos/realmd.sh
/home/mangos/mangosd.sh
Initial run of the server
From within the SCREEN session you can talk to the mangosd shell and do commands such as 'account create'
How to get back into our SCREEN session
We're done!
WoW Client Installation Windows, OS X, GNU/Linux
Download your vanilla 1.12.1 WoW client such as here
Note, this link is dead, you'll have to find it somewhere else
Windows
Edit your realmlist.wtf to your EC2 server address and click wow.exe to play
OS X
Edit your realmlist.wtf to your EC2 server address
GNU/Linux
Edit your realmlist.wtf to your EC2 server address
WoW Addons
Downloading addons
Here is a decent website with many vanilla addons, it's a tad slow, but they work.
A better github link can be found here
Installing Addons
Very simple, extract your addon, and drag it into your WoW/Interface/AddOns directory
From the character screen bottom left you can edit and add your new addons
Useful Addons
A really nice breakdown of useful addons can be found at this forum
My personal choices are:
Atlas v1.8.1 (Map)
Bartender2 (Action Bars)
Questie (Quest helper - this is a necessity)
eCastingBar (Casting Bar - similar to quartz)
ag_UnitFrames (does top portrait, health bars, mana bars, numbers on bars)
OneBag (displays all bags, lets you drag backpack)
BEB (better, experience bar, pretty exp bar)
informant (in the auctioneer package, shows items sell value)
EquipCompare (Show items against what you're wearing)
Still looking for a Sexymap 1.12.1 but I'll keep looking.
