There are two python scripts in the games/loadPLB/scripts area that pertain to exporting PLB files from within the blender 3D modeller.

 plib_export.py
 plib_convert.py

The former is interactive - the latter is intended for batch use when converting a bunch of '.blend' files to '.plb' using a Makefile or something. Otherwise, the two scripts are identical.

The plib_export.py script needs to be installed by either copying or symlinking to '~/.blender/scripts/plib_export.py'.

The plib_convert.py script may be used in a Makefile as follows:

  .SUFFIXES: .blend .plb
  FILES = jeep.plb moke.plb

  all: ${FILES}

  .blend.plb:
        blender $< -P /u/gameTools/loadPLB/scripts/plib_convert.py -w
