Requirements
Here's the requirements for this methods:
- Hosting your own whitelisted server (i'm not sure how exactly this works, my friends told me about that you need to have whitelisted IP to host ranked server, but as i've noticed, the only requirement to get your server ranked is to have whitelisted settings. Im really not sure about this one, and hadnt checked anything by myself. The easiest way how to get it - just go to nfoservers.com and host one by yourself. Costs 7$ per 8 slots for month. After ordering the server it takes a while, up to 2 days, for server to be created and configurated);
- Having at least some basic knowledge about WebAdmin and FTP or at least some brains to figure out how to use it;

OR

- Having a friend who is hosting by himself and can help you with installing this custom maps and configuring the settings the right way;

Next steps are about the specific maps and achievements they allow to get.
RSFF-BoostKills + Some file management basics
Go to the servers ROGame.ini (nfoservers hosting provider allow you to modify that throught the browser window, just go to yours Control Panel, go to File Manager tab, choose ROGame.ini and Edit. Then press Submit). Something like that:
Copy-paste there next thing (just move down to the last block with MapInfo thing, and paste it before that last one):

[RSFF-BoostKills ROUIDataProvider_MapInfo]
MapName=RSFF-BoostKills
FriendlyName=BoostKills

Also, if you're interested in getting all the maps on the server from this guide, just copy-paste same blocks from all guide sections to the same file.

Then press Save, go to Server Control tab, choose Restart Server, and press Do It. Wait for the server to be restarted. The same way you can simply modify ROGame.ini using Notepad for example, and updating the existing ROGame.ini on the server using FTP. Implanting this blocks to ROGame.ini will allow you to use this maps when changing the map in WebAdmin, or by adding them to Map Cycles.

About the FTP btw, the easiest way to access the server files without any third-party software - just press RMB on the 'this link' from File Manager tab, copy the link, go to your PC, and paste the link to the location tab. Something like this:
FTP allows you to upload-download anything TO or FROM the server, like this is your own local drive.
So, now about the server settings.
Go to WebAdmin ('game-provided admin pages' link on Easy Setup tab on nfoservers). You will get something like here:
Go to Gametypes tab, choose RSFirefight, and change Time Limit, Round Limit, and Win Strength Points anything you like, then press 'save settings' (3000, 20, 250 my settings). DO NOT MODIFY ANY SETTINGS WITH STAR OR ANY OTHER ICON NEAR IT, it will simply break server ranked status.
Go to the "Settings>General" tab, and choose "Game" on the upper tab selection. Change "Balance Teams", "Balance Teams on Death" to "No", "Game Start Delay" to 1, "Maximum Team Difference" something like 20 if you got server up to 32 slots (i've used 8 slotted server by myself and it was enough to get complete in under 40 hours. If you use this maps from the beginning, i think this is even possible to complete in under 30 HOURS! All the custom maps have only something like 4 respawns per team, so I recommend using only 8 slots). REINFORCING TAKES ONLY ONE SECOND!
So this is the basics. Lets go about maps right now.

Google Drive Link[drive.google.com]

Unarchive it to the server's main folder using FTP (or unarchive only maps you're interested in with saving all the folder hierarchy).


RSFF-BoostKills is the first map and main for the killing achievements. Go to WebAdmin again, change the current map to the RSFF-BoostKills, start your game and connect to the server. Join Allies. Any class, there're no difference on them, just because you wont get any weapon on the spawn. Then go back to WebAdmin, and add bots to the Axis (bot configuration is bugged, and even when you choose to add them to the specific team, they will join the balanced way. Just add much of them, and kick the bots that joined Allies). Go back to your game, and at last achieving begins!

Choose any weapon you need on the ground, pick it up and do your achievements. It is not required to level up the specific weapon to get for example Bayonet on Type96/99 for the achievement to count, on this map you can get the achievements with right weapon even if you have it level1. Just pick the right weapon up (all the weapons on the map are max leveledup), and do your achievements. If you need to get to the close combat, you can simply lay down and crouch to the bots spawn location. Every time new bot spawns, he will get something like 1-2 secs spawn protection, just keep this in mind. I hadnt found any way to disable it. For some achievements you may need some real teammates or etc, just ask your friend for help.

Every time you want to leave the server/game/changemap - remember to complete the current round, or YOUR STATS WILL NOT BE SAVED! Lets go to the next map.
RSFF-BoostKills_banzai
Paste to the ROGame.ini:

This is mini-remake for the normal BoostKills map, just in case you want to try the "Kill 5 banzais in 10 seconds using flamethrower" on the custom map. It should be easier to get it here, and even with less then 5 players (i think its possible to get even with 3 axis real players). But I hadnt tried it by myself, i got it while boosting with 7 other players on original Saipan map. It is here just in case you want to try it there, no more usage then regular RSFF-BoostKills.
RSTE-BoostKills_FASTWINS
ROGame.ini:

[RSTE-BoostKills_FASTWINS ROUIDataProvider_MapInfo]

Author=Will Bullen


This map allows you to get 100 wins in Territory mode as fast as it is possible. Join Allies. Axis simply dont have any reinforcements, so it will auto-grant you the win after the freezetime. You may want to change the Gametypes settings for RSTerritory mode in WebAdmin by changing Round Limit to 201. (Why 201? Cause server will start next map voting when any of the teams get *half_of_the_rounds + 1* won, so changing it to 201 will allow you to get 101 win before the map change).
RSTE-BoostKills_T92_AIR
ROGame.ini:

[RSTE-BoostKills_T92_AIR ROUIDataProvider_MapInfo]
MapName=RSTE-BoostKills_T92_AIR
FriendlyName=RSTE-BoostKills_T92_AIR

Author=Will Bullen



This map allows you to get '10 kills using one airstrike', '5' and '10 kills using one magazine of T92' (just join Allies and add 3-4 bots for Axis), and 'kill 2 guys which were using the same machinegun in 15 seconds' (Join Axis, crouch to the T92s location, ask 2 of your friends to join Allies, ask them to use the closest T92 to the Axis spawn, and kill them using another T92 from behind.
SD-BoostKills
ROGame.ini:

[SD-BoostKills ROUIDataProvider_MapInfo]

Author=Tripwire Interactive



This map allows you to get Search And Destroy achievements with your friend as fast as possible. Just join with your friend, choose diferent teams and start planting-defusing the bombs with your friend. The game changes your teams automatically after each round so it wont be hard to get it. Getting the 100 wins in S&D isnt the thing you want to aim on, just because you will get it automatically while doing your plant/defuse achievements. Before starting the game, you may want to change Gametypes settings for SearchAndDestroy gamemode through WebAdmin. Change 'Plant/Defuse time' to 1 second, and 'Round Limit' to something like 201.
TE-BoostKills_TRACKS
ROGame.ini:

[TE-BoostKills_TRACKS ROUIDataProvider_MapInfo]
MapName=TE-BoostKills_TRACKS

This map allows you to get Transport and Tank achievements fairly fast and easy, plus 1000 kills using on-board machinegun, and 32 kills with Nagan with Silencer. In Gametypes using WebAdmin you may want to change only the Round Limit setting.

First: Distance kills using tanks. Join Alies as Tank Commander. Have a friend to join Axis as the same class. If you look around - you will notice the big pillar. Ride your tank there. The whole distance from the pillar to axis tank spawn is something like 3km, you need only half of that, but i still recommend going to the edge close to the pillar (it may be really hard to get to the half of the way visually).

Second: Destroying the transport engines. Join Allies as Anti-Tank soldier for example. Go around the wall, there will be resupply volume with 1 second update, and two rows of the trucks around it. Just throw your nade exactly on the hood of the truck. If you throw the nade correctly, it will insta destroy the truck. Do it until you get your achievements for 100 destroyed engines (if you'd destroyed all the trucks - just wait few seconds and new of them will spawn).

Third: 1000 kills using onboard machinegun. Join allies, add 4 axis bots, go to the bots spawn (around the wall, *room* on the left side), get into the transport and just start shooting them until cheevos popup.

Fourth: Destroying Tank tracks. Start as Allies anti-tank soldier, ask your friend to join Axis Tank Commander. He will spawn on the right *room*, run to his spawn, you will notice the AT rifle. Pick it up, and start shooting the tracks. You wont see any differences visually after destroying any of the tracks, so you may need to be in voice chat with your friend, so he will be able to tell you when the track is destroyed. Destroy both tracks, then blow up his tank using the AT grenade. Repeat until cheevo popup.

Fifth: Destroy 25 tanks using your tank in one round. Spawn as allies tank commander, ask a friend to join axis tank commander. Aim exactly on the middle of the axis tank front 'bumper' if you may call it like that, but as close to the ground as possible. This will destroy transmission, and if you aim it correctly, axis tank may be insta-destroyed. Be careful while destroying the tank, because you may kill your friend if he is looking outside the tank, and it will also count as +1 kill toward the game score. Make sure to get exactrly 25+ tank destroys, NOT TOTAL kills. Then keep writing 'suicide' into your console, until you get the round done (Allies have something like 5 reinforcements total, so it wont be for too long). This achievement is popping up only in the end of the round.

Sixth: another transport achievements i hadnt mentioned before may be easily done here too. Just make sure, when you need enemy tank - to ask your friend to join. Bots cant use tanks.
TE-BoostKills_MG
ROGame.ini:

[TE-BoostKills_MG ROUIDataProvider_MapInfo]
MapName=TE-BoostKills_MG
FriendlyName=TE-BoostKills_MG

This map allows you to get '50 captures with vehicle inside the capture zone', and, the MOST IMPORTANT, VERY, VERRRRRY FAST level up. Start as Allies, add 4 Axis bots. Get inside the truck if you need the vehicle capture achievement, and just drive few meters forward. You will get the achievement immediatly (there're something like 140 capture zones in one place, and something like 20 captures per second). When it stops capturing, get to the *room* with bots (on the right side from allies spawn) and blow them up using the nade. Round will be ended and it saves your progress. Repeat until you get yours Hero class. I got from level 45 up to level 80 in only 30 minutes. It is impossible to place more capture zones inside, game simply start crashing.
Another achievements and few advices
The most important advice - when it starts lagging (it wont spawn any more bots, even when there're full enemy team, you cant spawn by yourself etc) restart the map. I wasnt bugsearching or exploiting my maps any possible ways, and, to tell you the truth, im really dont care. Maps were created to help me and my friends to get as fast and as easy achievements as possible, and they'd done their job pretty well. I'll not update them in future, and i'll not bugfix them.

When your game gets low on fps after killing a ton of bots using flamethrower of anything else - that is because the dead bodies on the ground. First way: lower your graphics to minimum. Second way: when you get your game getting fps low and low, when it gets to something like 10-20, just run away somewhere, and come back. The bodies should disappear.

For the multiplayer campaigns: there's really easy way to get throught them. Just start the campaign using WebAdmin (Settings>General>Gameplay tab, "Campaign Game" change to "Campaign", plus choose the "Campaign" type you want), join with your friends who want to get the achievements too. Wait for the campaign vote to begin. Just make sure to have at least half of server slots free. Go to the Bots tab in Server Admin, and start adding the bots, then kicking them. This will make the Reinforcements count decrease, and when it hits 0 you will auto-win the map. Repeat until you get through the whole campaign. You can do the same but instead of lowering the reinforcements count using @add-kick bots method@ you may ask your friends to join enemy team and killing themselves using nades. Both methods ARE NOT console commands, and ARE NOT breaking current (january 2019) AStats rules, same as other methods discribed here. But still, do all of this on your own risk. The only thing i want to say here is that you're not protected from the astats ban using this methods, even if they are not breaking astats rules. Just because. Dont make me the one to be blamed. I have made this maps by myself, and searched for all possible server settings by myself. I have used this methods by myself and with my friends.

For the Countdown wins: Go to Gametypes tab in WebAdmin, and change the "Final Objective Override" in Countdown to "1". When you start playing countdown without bots, it will auto-capture the first objective as last one, and then auto change your team and auto defend it. No any possible faster ways to earn that mode achievements.

For Firefight wins: Go to Gametypes tab in WebAdmin, and change the "Win Strength Points" to 1, "Round Limit" to 201 on RSFirefight gamemode, and start the RSFF-BoostKills map. Just kill one bot, and you will get+1 win to your stats.

Sorry for a ton of words. Sorry for the bad english. My goal was to show you the maps and ways to fast complete this game if you're admin by yourself, or have a friend-admin. And this guide fully satisfies that goal. Good bye and keep the cheevohunting!

is there a way to get into this kind of server without actually paying money? Like is there server available to just jump in and do these stuff?
ShadeImpulse 20 Feb, 2021 @ 11:14am 
Many thanks for the guide! It helped a lot!
Can't edit my old comment so I'm reposting this.
For anyone doing Warm Welcome, please note that we tried it on RSFF-BoostKills_banzai with friends, it doesn't seem to work. Maybe we were doing it wrong. Finally unlocked it on RSTE_Saipan, Japanese Point A. Thanks to Expert141 for the dedicated Warm Welcome guide, YT video and the correction that the achievement can be unlocked at any point.
Expert141 20 Feb, 2021 @ 11:00am 
The achievement can be completed at any point, comrades.
