Homestuck POV Cam Extension

The POV Cam allows you to view the pages of Andrew Hussie's Homestuck in a different order to normal, following the timeline of a single character.

To use the POV Cam, go to mspaintadventures as you would normally, and find that there are now some extra links on the page. Each of these links corresponds to a person on the page you're on. Click on a link to start following that person. This changes the order of the pages, so that they are shown from that character's point of view.

In case you didn't guess: Here be spoilers! Lots and lots of spoilers.

---- Features ----

Beyond the scope of just changing the page links, this extension also has other features, which you can enable/disable through the options page.

You can find the options page by clicking on the \"POV Cam Options\" link, that appears beneath the links on each page.

These features are designed to make it easier to read Homestuck:

==> Enable/Disable groups of timelines
Choose which timelines you wish to be able to follow.

==> Auto-open pesterlogs
Have the pesterlogs open when the page loads, to prevent the tedium of clicking on a button every time.

==> Arrow key navigation
Use the left and right arrow keys to go back and forward pages, to save having to click on a link.

==> Highlighting Doc Scratch's text
Give white text a green background, to make it easier to read.

==> Lord English's links
Don't like the flashing of Lord English's links? Then use this one to turn it off.

==> View pre-retcon pages
Show the pages as they looked before the various retcons

==> Flash page controls (most flashes)
Have a slide bar and pause button to control where in a flash animation you are.

After changing your settings, refresh any open Homestuck pages for the changes to take effect.
