1.
"enable black mask" works just fine in "map initialization".

2.
Personally, I'd never play a map with a turned off minimap.
Fortunately, it can't be done.
Sorry.


If you're really desperate about it, turn off the "show on minimap",
so only the terrain will be visible...
For doodads and destructtibles, that would be "art - minimap - show" = false,
for units, "stats - hide minimap display" = true.
(Still, it's a pain to do, and it isn't very user friendly...)

if this is a permanent thing you could always try going into the game interface dialog and blanking out all the icon - minimap fields...

...or maybe try importing a blank file named "war3mapMap.blp" into your map (I can't remember if its .blp or .tga, so try both).
