I noticed a lot of people are looking for code to export an object to a .X file. Here is some code to do the trick. Ezrotate and Styx is required. Styx is only needed to strip the filename from the path. I'm sure there is other ways to do this. Please notice that it only does only one texture stage (you choose) and does not include animations. Please post any updates you make to this code so that we can all make it better. Also note that any object/limb without a texture will not be included. The global variable g_OutputFolder$ must be set to an existing folder that you want the file created in. All textures in the object will be copyied to this folder as well. Sorry if the comments are lacking but this code has worked well for me for some time. Fuctions getFreeObject and getFreeMesh are included but matrix plugins will work fine with some changes. Please post to let me know if I have forgotten something or if you have any questions.
