  I'm pretty sure GUID is now 5 digits, and that that was the reason for the change. We're coming up on 65535 (0xffff) mobs soon.

  My preferred extractor is :sub(-13, -9) since this works backwards from the least significant digit, which is always there, something which is not necessarily true for the most significant digits (when it's 0 =)). Oh and it also works if the leading "0x" is missing.

  that change is back in 4.0 though. i know i'm bumping an old discussion but just saying ;) I doubt it's perminent. probably just for debug/testing and will be reverted on live again like it was in 3.3

  @jokerrhyme, That change didn't make it to live, so the library description is still accurate.

  Just a heads up. I believe the 3.3 method of getting a MobID is now:
  

  mobid = tonumber(GUID:sub(7, 10), 16)
  

  I sourced this from the official 3.3 API Changes thread which states:

  Quote:

  The format of NPC GUId's has changed, the creature ID is now two hex digits (8 bits) to the left, e.g. Hogger (0x1C0) is now xF13001C0000005D2 (formerly xF1300001C00005D2)
