Fix/Patch Exiva long names on TFS 1.x

[hodleo]

According to Tibia, the limit of characters in the player's name is 29. If you try to cast exiva on names longer than 20 characters in TFS 1.x it simply doesn't work or tells you player isn't online. This quick workaround fixed it and it might be useful for those who allow players to have long character names. Dunno if there's repercussions on changing those default values, but tests have gone all fine.

sources/game.cpp
Change

if (strlen == 0 || strlen > 20) {

For

if (strlen == 0 || strlen > 29) {

sources/spells.cpp
Change

Player* playerExiva = g_game.getPlayerByName(param);

For

Player* playerExiva = nullptr;
g_game.getPlayerByNameWildcard(param, playerExiva);

Thank you mate, I have been looking for this for some weeks ago.

whats the difference using nullptr?

It didn't work with getPlayerByName, but instead with getPlayerByNameWildcard.
That last one requires a variable to store its output data, I just copied a similar code near those lines that initially sets a null var. in case it doesn't find the player.

Tho I don't know if the strlen affects the original function.
