Cant find the bug. I'd suggest you post all files so that we can compile
and experiment with the nasty code.

A few comments anyway:

- is it on purpose that CreateMiniMap is not called here? Also, the
variable minimap in this function is initialised but never used. The only
part of the function which has an effect is MoveImage(&src,576,0).
- the line "mapcells.v = 16*0;" is commented out... so mapcells.v is not
properly initialised (you may expect it to be zero but it's not
guaranteed).
- I'd recommend using named constants. 20 and 16 are evil, change them to
MAP_W, MAP_H or whatever.
- using a 1d array is as Chris pointed out confusing. I can't see where the
trouble is with 2d arrays (see examples below), could you be more specific?

init:
u_short rik_map_array[16][20] = {		
	{1, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7},
	{2,10, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 7, 7, 7},
	...
arg:
myfunc(u_short[16][] array);
or myfunc(u_short** array);

access:
a = rik_map_array[(20*j)+i];
becomes:
a = rik_map_array[j][i];
