 _MASTER_paths.txt contains the moveobject replacement "source destination" list (refer to moveobject documentation for proper format etc).
-_run_update_FILETYPE_list.bat is to update file type list, this basically depends on which directory you are, if you're doing models then you use P3D bat, if you do rvmat's in Data\ directory, then you use rvmat bat and you guessed it, if you do terrains then you use PEW / WRP bat.

-_run_moveobject_log.bat file creates text file log out of the p3d/rvmat/pew/wrp file content regarding textures, proxys etc. This log file is useful to track down what your file contains. Also note that often times it grows very large, so use [[:editing_tools#text_editing|proper text editor]] to open it and be very careful if you perform some search & replace etc operations to log file sized in 50+ megabytes.

 _run_moveobject.bat is the actual moveobject executing bat which runs the program using master paths text as config and after its done it runs log file creation.
