Correct GUID sending via SMSG_UPDATE_OBJECT

[/dev/not/null]

As I can see in Mangos sources, Object::BuildCreateUpdateBlockForPlayer contains  next string:

buf << (uint8)0xFF << GetGUID();

What does 0xFF means here ?

Actually, not much as it's casted as uint8. Code-wise, I'd say it's 0xF. Why is it like that ? No clue though.

Where did you find that line? Please specify the file and line number, as I can't manage to find it anywhere in mangos one sources...

Oh, sorry, my mistake. That line was in file Object.cpp of OregonCore... I have tabs opened of both mangos and oregoncore

It's funny that the code above outputs actually a packed GUID (without any compaction for zero bytes, thus the bitmask is 0xFF). So it's ok when filling a packed GUID field in a packet.

So, this method is better or worse than using SetPackGUID method ?
