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.
