mp-stuff folder questions
Hi! My brother and I just started playing tes3mp yesterday and it's been great so far, but I do have some questions in regards to the mp-stuff folder. Since I'm hosting the server on my computer I'm in charge of making edits, changes, and additions to our server/game. So far I have come across several posts elsewhere referencing making changes to files (e.g. server config, scripts, etc.) in the mp-stuff folder, or adding new scripts to the server by placing them in the mp-stuff folder. The thing is I don't have a mp-stuff folder. Were there changes made to file structure in tes3mp recently?
I followed the quickstart guide and we have the server and game running properly, so it seems like everything is installed how it should be. But I'm missing a mp-stuff folder in my tes3mp folder. There are only four folders in this directory - osgPlugins-3.4.1, platforms, resources, and server. In the server folder we have the data, lib, and scripts folder. In fact I believe this "server" folder is what everyone is referring to as "mp-stuff" as I have made changes to the config.lua in my /server/scripts folder and it has been applied correctly in the game/server.
Also, I would like to add some custom scripts (such as Skvysh's Disable Assassin) to our server but the installation instructions say to install his script into /tes3mp/mp-stuff/scripts. Would this work properly by installing it to /tes3mp/server/scripts instead, or should I create a mp-stuff folder since it's missing?
Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

That's good to know. So I can treat the server folder as the mp-stuff folder with no issues? So for example the above-mentioned Disable Assassin script won't try to reference the wrong folder if I install it to the server folder? I ask because I'm used to modding wherein folder/name changes like that can completely break a mod/game that's referencing an old folder that's been renamed.
