As I talked to SniperBeamer on IRC(i forgot what he told me soo I am asking again here), I noticed in the CVS that the stock get_customdir was changed.

Code:
stock get_customdir(name[],len)   return get_localinfo("amxx_customdir",name,len)

That is how it is defined in the amxmisc.inc on AMXX .16

Well with the up coming release of AMXX .2 ... Did the Dev Team decide to scrap the whole get_customdir stock and the amxx/custom directory?

Thats what it seems like in the new includes

Code:
/* Backwards Compatibility * don't use it! */ stock get_customdir(name[],len)   return get_localinfo("amxx_configsdir",name,len)

Now, I was thinking, if it was backwards compatiblity then why does it point to the amxx/configs directory and not the amxx/custom directory as the stock was orignally created for?

However I also noticed the addition of get_datadir ... which now seems to me what would be the "replacement" of get_customdir

I am going to assume that the get_datadir will point to amxx/data directory, as SniperBeamer said plugins such as the base stats and csstats logging will be placed.

This change will cause many plugins to have to be again changed for AMXX standards, many plugins such as the warcraft ones and deags map manager will either have to use thier configs in the amxx/config directory or change thier coding to the amxx/data directory

My final question is, why was this changed up after people were just finally getting used to using get_customdir ???
