Because I can't commit without testing modifications to AI.
Usually 8 copies in total must be created, for all players, to test if they
communicate properly for example. Therefore I can't use playerX.slo.in and
playerX.vlo.in for testing, since
1) "X" isn't an integer and "player INT X" won't compile
2) 7 copies of player0.slo/vlo are required for testing purposes anyway
