My ideas...

Below is a list of things I would like to see added into cPGS to make it even better. Some are simple things but others are more complex and are probably asking too much. The general trend of the features is making cPGS more usable for GSP's.

Bookings Servers
How I think this should work is you create a bunch of "booking" servers which are basically blank slates. Then by entering in start/finish times you can make a "booking" for that server, which defines not only the time it lasts for, but the passwords, name and slots. When the time limit expires, the server is stopped, when the next booking timeslot comes into action, cPGS rewrites the config file again and then starts the new server.

XML Feeds
Since stats on servers are already provided in cPanel, it would be great for users to use XML feeds to see the current players/server stats. As it would probably be under cPanel the login would be required (maybe?) otherise some sort of access key would need to be added for each game user. Eventually graphs and logging would be great, but that is probably a tall ask.

Public/Private
Basically a small option in WHM where a public or private type server can be set. Then a check in cPanel that makes sure whenever the user edits the settings, the password for the server is not blank. This sort of ties into the Auto Config Checking (see below).

Automatic Config Checking
Basically a "bot" that checks every set time, for example, once a day, twice a day, every 2 hours, every hour etc. The bot would need to scan every servers config files and make sure that people are not simply FTP'ing into the server and editing the config file directly in order to gain more slots. If possible it would be great if it could also change the slots (or other values that aren't allowed) back to the allocated slots (or other settings) in WHM.

WHMCS Support
This is a big one, and while there are a few people out there who are making their own, it would be great to have an official one (part of the cPanel WHMCS module?). Possibly the guy who manages the general cPanel WHMCS module could look into it, or does WHMCS make the included modules?

Obviously these are just dreams, some probably un-realistic but please comment with your opinion on them.

There are a few other things which I have forgotten but will most likely come back and add.

Regarding WHMCS... I think there are a few people working on this and im sure we can all coliberate together and make an official one as this would be very handy...

What kind of things would you like in the plugin?

I am a PHP (among many others) coder myself so I can help out if there is any need

As far as features, basically just for WHMCS to support game servers like web hosting. You can define "products/packages" which include all the normal hosting stuff (or not) and then all the server variables like type of server and slots (chosen by buyer).

Then on the backed just the obvious things like automatic installation on account creation, un-installation on account termination.

Also it would be nice to have a "deactivate" feature when you suspend a users account, basically turn off the server and block access to it.

Basically I would just like dealing with game servers to be no more difficult than selling domains or hosting with WHMCS.
