Black Lightning is similar to Strata, being a 'functionality enhancer'.(Only works with StormFront, currently)

It was created by a GemStone player, but should work fine for DragonRealms.

The site includes a few plugins as well as a 'Developers' section(Tutorial and Reference).

Does it have the same issue as Strata where you can't store anything serverside?

I see nothing indicating that it does.

Perhaps you should head over and read the user guide?

I don't have this running, yet.

One downside I've seen mentioned:

"One important note is that you can only have one instance of Black Lightning running at a time. If you need to play several characters at once, only one may be using Black Lightning, you'll have to use SGE or the web site for the others." -User Guide, Everyday Usage

I tried black lightning for a while. It's pretty nice, but the developer has pretty much quit and won't release the source. I would love to continue work on it. A couple of the things I've done is create several container windows, an exp window, and a few other things. Once I get a break from my PhD work I plan on doing a 3D mapper. Basically rooms that are up or down, would be up or down...also you could click on a room and it would take you there from your current location.

PS: the issue with multiple characters has been fixed. I used it for my free account and then this account when I reactivated it. Tried both accounts at the same time until my free account was up.

On a semi-sidenote, one of the GS GMs (Ildran, IIRC) is working on a platform-independent independent (Not Simutronics supported) FE plugin for use with Eclipse. Wheller is working on adapting a version of YASSE to work with the Eclipse FE. Discussion, what there is of it, is happening over in the Mac FE folder in the Simutronics forum.

Ildran's looked pretty interesting, from what he posted.
