This is intentional. Command X extensions are a ModPlug extension (not supported by other XM-compatible players), hence they are only available for legacy XM modules created with OpenMPT versions where these extensions were still allowed.

If a file that is making use of command X extensions was previously working as intended (in a file made with ModPlug Tracker 1.16 or early OpenMPT versions), it may be a bug (but then you need to provide such a file to have a look at). If it just doesn't work in newly created files, everything works as intended. Please don't use this command in XM files. Use the IT or MPTM format if you need access to those commands.

Ok, I understand. I should have migrated for a long time ago to other formats. I did not expected that.

I'm doing music since 1995 with it, approximately 300 to 400 songs to migrate...

Is there a way to convert or export to other format, like mptm? I couldn't find a way.

Yes, you can change the format in the Song Properties dialog. Note that OpenMPT tries its best but such a conversion can often not be 100% accurate, so be sure to listen closely if anything sounds different afterwards. Often the changes are small and can be fixed with some manual work.

Note that, as said, old songs using this command should still play as intended, as long as they were saved with ModPlug Tracker. Sometimes we cannot 100% reliably detect if an XM file was saved with ModPlug Tracker, so if the commands stop working in some old MPT-made file, we might have to fix our tracker detection. But in that case I'd need the problematic files to have a look at.
