Is there a way to disable or hide the minimap in the game? or can u restrict it to show only a part of it?

Restrict camera bounds is not what im looking for

cant you just import a pic and replace the minimap with that, i think its either a trigger or a something in senario option

My problem is I didnt want people to see the terrain at some spots, the black masked area still didnt hide it. There was an option to uncheck that made the terrain completly black masked. It was in map options.

For Instance, in Uther Party, the entire map is masked, that what the oriniginal question was, what is the answer to that?

Actually... If you make a 256x256 .tga image, and name it war3mapmap.tga then import and remove the path, that will be the in-game minimap. Not sure if that's what you want or not, but that's how to do it.

From what I recall, that is only the background. The terrain still gets placed ontop of it.

[edit]
Or was that the unit dots?

just go to game interface and disable one of the minimap imgaes:
Image - minimap (set to nothing)
of course then therre no way to reveal it in game

As a matter of fact, I think if you set one of the minimap image fields in Game Interface to an invalid path, the entire minimap blacks out - ie, no units, no creep markers, nothing, just a black square.
