Ok, I make a new map and make stairs to it, it's filled in with the default area (/area/town), and when I get out of it by warping to a guard...some areas are black, mainly /area/cave..
area/cave
    icon='areas.dmi'
    icon_state="cave"
    invisibility = 50
    layer = MOB_LAYER + 1
    invisibility = 50
    music = 'Cave.mid'
    Enter()
        usr<<sound(music,1)
        return 1
area/town
    icon='areas.dmi'
    icon_state="town"
    layer = MOB_LAYER + 1
    invisibility = 50
    music = 'town.mid'
    Enter()
        usr<<sound(music,1)
        return 1

and...the music var is to be able to change the music at runtime. don't see how the /area/cave could be black, the only libraries i'm using are s_damage, charhandling, basecamp, and basicmath...

why would you use invisability = 50? The reason its black, I think, is becuase you have invisability as true, and there is nothing under the area/cave to show. Idon't think areas get set to overlays and underlays, like turfs.

In response to Airjoe
...invisibility=50 is so certain people can see areas...
