You should be able to get what the symbols mean by yourself. The green dots are Monsters I had not yet killed in my playthrough or Monsters that respawned.
The maps themselfs I screenshotted while having developer mode enabled.
Thank a lot to Punchy on the official Forums who told the world how to exactly do that in the first place.
-----===>) WHAT IS THIS (<===-----
If you use the xbox360-controller with the pc-version you normally have only two hotkeys for your favourites. Those are *Left* and *Right* on the d-pad. You hold those and they will get assigned to the items.
This file adds 6 more on the D-pad to that. You still enter the favourites menu with *Up*. In the menu though you use the left Analog Stick to browse. The new hotkeys are:
You have to enter the Favourites Menu by pressing Back on your Controller.
If you want to Wait you have to press Sprint+Back.
For the Quicksave Function you have to press X+B. Hold X then press B. Quicksaved. :)
To Quickload press A+Y.
Taking Screenshots happens by pressing Sprint+Start.
To Autowalk press Sprint+Right Stick.
There is also another Version for Lefthanded People where I swapped Looking and Moving
-----===>) TROUBLESHOOTING (<===-----
Delete the file ControlMap_Custom.txt in your Skyrim mainfolder.
-----===>) INSTALLATION (<===-----
To Install, just extract the zip inside your Skyrim-Data-folder under X:\programs\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data
Well, technically it's not an emulator but a virtual Machine. In the end that doesn't matter though. :)
Bluestacks lets you run almost any Android app or game on your PC. I killed a lot of time with Drag Racing and Angry Birds Space. :) If you need some kind of multi-touch controls try experimenting around with the keyboard. A lot of standard user interfaces seem to be mapped to the keyboard. That way you can use keyboard and mouse like you would anyway on a PC.
At this time it's still in beta but already runs like a charm. It crashes maybe once a week but I'm sure that's not as annoying as real phones telling you that their Battery is getting low.
Until it is officialy released it's completely free to use. After that it will cost some money but it should still cost much much less than a new Tablet or Phone.
If you want to give it a try you can download it here.
Should you own a Mac and be interested, the developers have said they're working on a Mac-version as well.
All in all I'm really excited about this and I'm looking forward to the actual release.
You will probably see that a part of Bluestacks, the RocketDock, gets autostarted with Windows. Although I love Bluestacks, this thing annoyed me, because I found exactly no use for it. I got rid of it after killing the process "RocketDock.exe" and renaming the exe itself in "C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\BlueStacks\RocketDock\" to "RocketDock.meh"
Other than that I can see that some of you could get annoyed that you "have to" login to Bluestacks with your Facebook account. Well you actually don't. You only need to do that if you want to synchronize Bluestacks with an actual android device you already own. Because I don't own an android phone I could not test the cloud functionality of Bluestacks.
If you want to change the path of the SDCard -file Bluestacks uses you can change that in the registry under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\BlockDevice\2\". There are other options you can fiddle around with, like the resolution of the Bluestacks window while it is not in fullscreen mode.
Also you should get yourself another launcher because the default one is at this moment a bit lackluster. I'm using the AWDLauncher.
I played almost entirely through Drag Racing on Bluestacks and wanted to make my tunes public because I had a really hard time finding a place where just all tunes would be on one place.
Most of these tunes are from around the interweb and all of them customized for myself. All of them also start in second gear. That means you punch the pedal to the metal and as soon as the race starts you shift into second gear.
Fire your Nitros as soon as the tires stop smoking not earlier because that would waste the extra boost.
I'm not the world leader in any race or level but these tunes are all very competitive and you will first place about 90% of the time.

Next Post will be all half mile tunes.
Edit: 24.04.2012 Screwed up the time for the lvl2 Honda S2000.
I did help the father of a friend with his computer and among other things he wanted me to install a newer version of Avira Antivir.
To uninstall the old version you actually had to download and run a special tool by Avira to clean up after the normal uninstallation process which was idiotic enough...
The big hurdle I faced was that the tool couldn't delete a handful of registry keys no matter how I started it. As admin, in safe-mode, etc. Nothing helped.
I couldn't even delete it by hand. Again trying every special trick I and Google knew...
It was then that I learned that the registry had actually a permission system like you would knew from the Windows NTFS-Filesystem. So I had to first rightclick the key I wanted to delete give everyone all the permission there were and then I could delete it.
In hindsight it seems pretty simple but at that time I did not found a single solution to this problem. Maybe my googleFu betrayed me but I am posting this Information here to help maybe a single person. :)
