    Can no longer Import (anything) to exisiting map.

    Problems began after World Editor patch, which was installed when I returned to Battlenet in late February (sorry I'm not sure which Warcraft III patch it is, though I'm pretty sure it's the only World Editor patch). I've been working on a map for a while, stand-alone RPG style on an epic...
