Hi, I wish to make a map from this picture

I don't how to make it through cause I've never made a map. I want to make a background instead of blue areas. Can you help me out?

Here Puczini....
one with borders and one without.

Thanks man. As I see the only thing to do is placing black color for background and put some scripted objects if needed, right?

Pretty much....
Image width and height need be divisible by 8 also.

I want to ask about one more thing. I'm just wondering if it is possible to make background and music unique for the chosen map. For example, I would put a blue screen (as original) to be background and mario theme song. So, there's a way to make it, or not?

the color of the background has to be close to very black.
but you can also render a fullhd sprite all over the whole map which would be your background... not sure about performance.

I found that rendered huge sprites can not be displayed at some PC`s. Otherwise it cousing laggy things (huge fps drop) without showing the sprite.
I used that principle in NewAgeRR, into darkness zone. Huge black sprite been rendered on top of the screen to hide everything. It works fine on my PC, but around 20-25% of players said they still can see their worm, map etc but FPS significantly dropped.

In this case i think with even larger sprites it may not work at all. Or mabe number of layer does matter. It its underneeth of everything, maybe it will work.

it depends on the sprite size. and i think it also depends on the maximum texture size supported by GPUs. today the most common are: 4096x4096, 8k, 16k. There are still 2k as well, but only on very weak GPUs

I still want to ask about music for map. Can I set it for some maps or I need to use it on all maps? And how to do it?
