Mini-map not working with direct 3d drivers

Not sure if this is a problem with torque or just my setup but the mini map and the death animations are not showing up when using direct 3d drivers.

I think the best solution will be to have the minimap cache the image to a PNG, much like scene lighting is cached to ML files, so that it'll work right regardless of drivers.

The death animations work on the Shocker and Rifleman, but not the Bot. The art we have in the demo was community-submitted, and the Bot came without a death animation, so he just continues playing his last animation unti he fades out (we're not selling the art, just the code :). That happens in both DX and OGL mode, because the actual model itself doesn't have a death animation. :)
As for the mini-map, it actually is OGL-specific, I believe. We should've disabled the DX option for now. If any of us get time, we'll see about either adjusting the mini-map, or disabling the dx functionality altogether.
