I don't make 'em, I just install 'em.

Look here. Starting at #4.

It seems you need to create a file named Campaign.ini and put the order of the missions in it. Then you need to create a base mission called "Campaign" and make a briefing in a certain way. Also, a picture can be used for the Campaign menu.

I've attached the campaign I used while testing. Hopefully, along with the post I linked to, it will make things clearer.

If I remember correctly, Steam only overwrites the campaigns.ini file. The actual campaign data remains. What we really need is a second campaigns.ini file in addition to the original. That way campaigns can be easily added, but there is no risk of accidentally deleting the original campaigns and if it does happen, they can be restored using Steam.
