Avalon

Avalon is an official front end for GemStone IV, for use with Mac OS X. Though it does not have a scripting engine or a point-and-click interface, it provides direct compatibility with user-developed plugins.

Unique Features

Avalon can process either the XML feed or the 'Wizard' feed from simutronics. Currently this would not result in a pleasant user experience, but a plugin could be written to process the extra information and display it properly.

Plugins

• YASSE - the original scripting plugin. Also provides a lot of built-in support for DragonRealms
• YASSE lite - a stripped down version of the original YASSE, just the scripting engine with the other features removed
• Avalon Oxide - a plugin that provides a window for a cleaner viewing of status information (HP, mana, spirit, stance, etc). - link coming soon

Bugs

• Story window snaps to the bottom with each incoming line.
• Processing the names list and only showing arrivals/departures/deaths of characters on your names list is not functional.

All of these plugins are open source, and licensed under the GPL.
