You'll need a tutorial that fits it good http://gunlabs.blogspot.com/2011/01/wel ... rmory.html

Or just use Samsara as you can already be doom's guy in it in hexen http://zandronum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=200

you can check out the Decorate code in zdoom wikia, it is written in decorate style so we can use them as a base. but you'll need to rip the sprites and sounds from the iwad too

NOTE: you also have to convert the sprites to PNG or another supported format when you change from an IWAD to another, dooms graphic use a palette that isnt the same in hexen, therefore it looks odd, hexen reads the graphics and finds the code on the palette... and messes the looks up :V

AFAIK, you don't have to copy DECORATE, as long as you use actor names to spawn weapons. You still have to copy graphics and sounds, though.
