You can actually add a Campaign mode without replacing hunt. Either way you have to build your own objectives, but other than that it's not hard.

Game modes are just names. You can play CTF in Conquest, Space Assault in Hunt, or whatever. All that matters is the code in that mode's Lua script. For a 'Hunt Campaign', just add the Hunt mode to your map and with its Lua script with all the your custom campaign code.
If you want to create a completely new game mode, the v1.3 patch has support for that.
No one does any campaign tutorials because all campaigns are different. You didn't even mention what you wanted in your Campaign. However, just about every campaign is just a sequence of Objectives. Look through the stock Campaign scripts to see how to do them.
Edit: The new game mode tutorial link is near the bottom of the FAQ topic. If you're too lazy to look there, click this:
http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 27&t=12542 (make sure to read through the comments). That tutorial adds Hunt, but you can just change its
hunt ids to the id of the mode you want to add. Campaign's id is the letter
