The minimap will always show the whole map because its not a dynamic picture . It does however not show everything it only shows what you have explored meaning that if you find an enemies building it will show up on the minimap but only if you have found it. It won't start there. Does that help?

Probably won't help him, since it isn't true.
If you want to enable black mask, go to Scenaro -> Map Options...
Uncheck the box where it says "Masked areas are partially visible"

You need to set enable black mask on. You can do it in your init trigger. Visablity-enable black mask, visablility- enable fog of war.
