Problem: Blank MiniMap In Game

On a map I've been working on, the minimap just stopped appearing in game for some reason. I displays fine in the editor and when loading the map, but once in game the minimap is 100% black (even units don't show, so it is not the 'hide terrain' setting. I tried toggling all the graphics settings and minimap settings and nothing changed at all).

Any ideas on what the problem might be and how to fix it?

Did you modify the UI?

I heard a while back that if you set the "Creep Camp" and/or "Neutral Building" icons to an invalid file then the map disappears...

Does the hollow white rectangle WC3 uses to indicate your field of view show up?

The problem was the neutral icon was set to an invalid icon. I could have sworn I disabled custom UI after I did that tho =-/ Oh well, works now.

Sorry for reviving this thread, but I've got another minimap problem. Similarly the minimap doesn't show up, well the buildings and circles of power show up, along with the red and white dots for units.

It was working perfectly before I added a difficulty selection dialog. And once after that BOOM! no minimap. What other things can bring about a black minimap?

Thanks in advance
