Is there anyway to remove the minimap from a mode only via LUA(Or anything else if necasary) If not can you remove the hud altogether. I've made a map for the clan I'm in and one of the modes is "Find me" which is easy with a map.

It should work by lua but I didn't try it so I wouldn't know the code.

I believe you can mess around with the minimap in the data_BLA\common\hud\pc\1playerhud.hud. Open it up and search for "map" and see what you can do. I wrote a hud reference (in the everything you need thread) which may be usesful. Don't know if you could get rid of the big map though, I would think it to be hardcoded (but you never know). I only vaguely remember seeing "map" while poking around the hud.

Is there a way to do it via "ingame.lvl" so I could load the custom ingame on somemaps and or others have a map?

There are a few ways you can try to do it:

You can change the ODFs to prevent units from showing up on the map.
You can override the map texture icons and black everything out (ingame.lvl's map_mask icon)
You can override all the marker icons.
You can override the map's lua screen script and do crazy things.
You can figure out how to use ShowAllUnitsOnMinimap(), SetMapCameraZoom(), SetMapCameraPosition(), ScriptCB_SetMetaAllMapsOn(), and DisableSmallMapMiniMap().

What do you edit in the ODFs?

You could also just take the minimap texture out of [mapname].req

Or you just paste this:
into your lua.

But won't the large one still be visible via the "M" Key?

Yes. I dont think you can stop that.
