he wants the minimap to be black while he's playing, not in the gameroom before starting the game...

In your map MPQ-archive there is the war3Mapmap.blp
(you can open it with any MPQ-Program)

You have to safe this *blp as *tga (Do this with a war3imageExtractor) and you must draw it completly black...
Then you can safe it as *blp again and import it per MPQ-Program into your map-archive again...

FINISHED!

Then your minimap is black :D
btw... you can also edit it into a nice picture
That looks good ingame :roll:

OK I got it that far but where is the map MPQ-archive?

and with which program can I change *.bpl to *.tga?

Oh, sorry, I thought you wanted to have a blank preview screen...

1) The map's MPQ archive can be accesed by opening the map using WinMPQ (downloadable at this site).

2) You can chang blp to tga using either Warcraft 3 Viewer or Wc3 Image Extractor II (both accesable at this site).

Dude such a easy question can be answered easily

Do this:

Open up your map with WE.
on the left near the minimap there is a white box ticked with " View Game Minimap ".
UNTICK it.

Wallah nice and easily
