Right now our hosting site contains an updated MOS file with all previous versions combined. This should give you guys an easier installation. If you like more information on the subject, check here

MOS v1.3 Full Install - Part 2

MOS v1.3 Full Install - Part 4

To install the full version of MOS v1.3 download all four parts to your desktop or a seperate folder. Extract the first file (only) using your favorite utility.
Double-left click on the MOS v1.3 Full Installer.exe file or right-click on the file name and select run from the menu that appears. It is a large file and may take several minutes to begin to install, be patient.
At the end of the installation there is an option to view the read me file that contains details on most of the scripts used in MOS. This file and a Word document containing the same information are also availabe in the root folder of this mod. There is a box that is checked on the last window of the install process. Leave it checked and allow it to run. It will not launch MOS, but rather the Cleaner.bat file required for the mod to run after installation.
The MOS v1.3 Full Installer does not require any previous versions of MOS to be installed.
Download the 1.4 file from GameFront or our hosting site using the link provided to your desktop or other folder. Do not download the file into your M2TW, TATW or MOS folders.
Double-left-click on the file or right-click and select 'Open' from the pop-up menu.
Follow the instructions provided in the installer.
Download the 1.4.1 file to your desktop or location of your choice. Do not download the file into the M2TW, TATW or MOS folders. Extract the rar file using your favorite utility.
Double left-click on the exe file named MOS v1.41 Patch.exe or right-click on the file and select 'Open' or 'Run' from the pop-up menu. Follow the instructions provided with the installer and confirm the install location before proceeding.

- If you want custom battle heroes, you should use the CG-launcher to make this available or to turn it off.
- If you want to use the "Arnor from the start" function for Eriador properly, use the FAR launcher.
