when tryin to play Instant action or Host a game, Not all maps have previews and Info when you select them from the list. How can I add the map preview?

If there is no preview, then the map author didn't make one. It needs to be done by taking screen shots, editing the images, then loading them in the level with the UTeditor.

If I do this, will there be a conflict when playing on CTC server?

Yes, as the copy of the map that you have won't match the one on the server. (They've got to match bit-for-bit). The server will then force you to download its version, and you'll have a conflict. It's not worth it :) and plus it's a hell of a lot of work... that's why most map makers don't do it!

Yeah, exactly like Jim said. It's not worth the work and I wouldn't worry about it. I did it on Tropopause and probably spent a good 45 minutes on the entire process.
