So I want to start a "ghost wars" mod...

I've been playing around with HMT 3 for the past day and I've pretty much gotten it down. I managed to successfully import a wraith into both bg and timberland (minus messed up texture... or shading?). That has nothing to do with it though, I wanna make a ghost wars mod. What is giving me the most trouble right now is this:

I want to make a quick moving flamethrower ghost. The problem is that I don't know how to make a "new vehicle". I looked at hogwars and I saw they were able to have 4 warthogs with new vehicle names like "gwarthog"... How can I make a new ghost with the name "fghost"?

Copy the meta, and change paths... ?

That's what I was thinking, but I'm not sure how to change the paths...

When is soon? Could you at least try to explain quickly how it works?

they overwrote every vehicle with Warthog and Rocket Warthog.
to get even more u could trade rocks, trees, and guns for more ghosts.
then just change the textures.
then if u wanna change the name:
1 open a map in hex workshop.
2 go to find-find what (change from Hex Values to Text String)
3 go to options check Unicode String
4 go to value in the center and type in 'Warthog'
5 hit find. should bring u to a value(on the left is the words Get into Warthog or somethin like that) then by changeing the values u will get different letters. The next letter is 100 after the original. I.E. 7200 is s so t would be 7300.
You can also have the new name be only shorter or the same as before.
heard there wuz another way but i don't no how to add more

And also, if you have all warthogs (or any vehicle) you need to know which one has which name.
