Need custom model export script in blender

I've been coding a simple android game with openGL ES 1.0 and require a simple exporter for Blender, but don't really understand python and how to add export scripts to blender 2.59.

I tried the tutorial at: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro/Advanced_Tutorials/Python_Scripting/Export_scripts , but I couldn't get it working with blender... I tried copying it to the scripts/addons directory but Blender didn't detect it... I tried manually importing it, but nothing happened... I'm thinking it was written for an earlier version.

All I want to write is a simple exporter that exports simple static meshes in a format like the following:

// v = vertex, i = indices for polygon, t = uv for vertex
v -1 -1 0
v 1 -1 0
v -1 1 0
v 1 1 0
i 0 1 2
i 1 3 2
t 0 0
t 1 0
t 0 1
t 1 1

The tutorial I found made this look really simple, but everything else I found seemed to be more confusing... If anyone could write a quick exporter script for me, I'd be very thankful, or just point me in the right direction... And also how to get it working with Blender 2.59... Thanks for reading.

I would start with Jeff Lamarche's scripts on github.

The blog post is here:

I recall having to fiddle with the blender or version tuples in the bl_info dictionary but it has been a while.
