"USE_AURORA" randomly added to ProjectSettings

Hey Tony and everyone :)

We had a strange thing happen - we're using PlasticSCM as our VCS and the artist on our team just pushed a small update (just messing around in a scene) but I noticed that the push included a change to ProjectSettings/ProjectSettings.asset.

The change was that USE_AURORA was added to the "scriptingDefineSymbols". I had no idea what it was, but googled it and found this page: http://www.pixelcrushers.com/dialogue_s ... names.html

Any idea how that would get added? Our artist didn't do anything with the DialogueSystem, or its menu/settings or anything.

Last week we had a similar thing happen, where our artist did a push and his push included USE_NEW_INPUTSYSTEM (or something like that) as an addition to the ProjectSettings file, which resulted in all of us getting errors. Really strange behavior. Our artist only does map-layout for our scenes. But he is also the only person on the team with a Mac.

Any clue? The fact that last week "USE_NEW_INPUTSYSTEM" was added makes me think that it may not be related to DialogueSystem specifically... but this seems totally random for any of this to be getting added to the ProjectSettings :oops:

Hi,

Does your artist have the the Dialogue System's Welcome Window open? An errant click might have ticked the USE_AURORA and/or USE_NEW_INPUT checkboxes. Ask your artist to untick the welcome window's Show At Start checkbox and then close the window.
