The ES5 version trades a handwritten Math.abs(), two for loops and the output via alert for the unavailable recursive concise arrow function.
Both versions use the idea in the Ruby/C answer above, by Level River St. Using binary | instead of + shortens the defining string, d stays positive when diffing by ^ instead of -.

Takes advantage of how the default Write-Output at end of program execution handles arrays (i.e., it inserts a newline between elements). Might be a better way to generate the middle of the board -- I'm still working at it.
The first line outputs the top line of the board, also storing it in $x for use later.
The next line generates all the Double-Word lines by taking the left "half" of each, mirroring them (the -join$_[6..0] statement), and storing them as elements in array $y.
The next line is the middle row, with an X in the middle, thanks to -replace.
The next line outputs $y in reverse order, giving us the bottom Double-Word lines.
The final line is just $x again.

Split into chunks of 8, palindromize each.

Replace numbers with characters.
Other Idea (Someone Try this in MATL)
Seeing as EVERYTHING is garunteed to have a period inbetween it...
Count the number of zeros inbetween each piece:
1003000104000200004000303004000300004000020002000030003010030005
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
131424334342233135 => w\F6ß¿
Taking the counts of zeros runs:
23134312344343123 => ì:¼˜¾
Then you would decrypt and transpose them together.
Using them in 05AB1E (results in a +5 byte increase):

This exploits the diagonal pattern of the board for encoding. In particular, if we take the top left quadrant of the board and align the diagonal, we get:
T..d...T
.D...t..
..D...d.
d..D...d
....D...
.t...t..
..d...d.
T..d...X
...a lot of the columns now line up. If we encode columns in a line this way:
0..12..0 y/012/Td./
.0..12.. y/012/D.t/
..0..12. y/012/D.d/
2..0..12 y/012/D.d/
12..0..1 y/012/D../
.12..0.. y/012/tt./
..12..0. y/012/dd./
T..12..0 y/012/Xd./
...then the board pattern can be collapsed into a 15 character string: T..12..0..12..0; and we simply need the right mappings for each row.
With that in mind, here's an expanded version with comments:
i,r,c;
main() {
for(;i<240;) // one char per output including new line
r=abs(i/16-7) // row; goes from 7 to 0 and back to 7.
, c="T..12..0..12..0"[r+7-abs(i%16-7)] // pattern char
, putchar(++i%16 // if this is 0 we need a new line
? c&4 // hash to distinguish 'T' and '.' from '0', '1', '2'
? c // print 'T' and '.' literally
: "Xd.dd.tt.D..D.dD.dD.tTd."[c%4+r*3] // otherwise look up replacement char
: 10 // print the new line
);

a.map{|i|puts a.map{|j|(d=i%7-j%7)%4<1?'X d t DTDdDdDtT d'[i+j+d*d/3]:?.}*''}
A similar but significantly different approach to my original answer below. As before, we use the fact that a letter must be printed if i%7-j%7 is equal to 0 or 4. But here we store that difference in d and use the formula i+j+d*d/3 to give an integer which is unique (up to symmetry) to that particular coloured square. Then we just look it up in the magic string.
Just for fun: C version of this approach, 120 bytes

$><<=(i%7-j%7)%4<1?"#{'XdTdT'[(i+j)/3]}dtDDDD"[[i%7,j%7].min]:?.}
puts}
Explanation
The origin is considered to be the centre of the board.
A letter must be printed if the x and y coordinates of the square have magnitudes that are identical or differ by 4. The only exceptions are on the outer edge of the board, but these follow the same pattern as the central row/column of the board, so we can use the same condition if we take the x and y coordinates modulo 7.
The choice of letter displayed is based on the coordinate of minimum magnitude. In this way the doubles and triples at (1,5) and (2,6) follow the same rule as at (1,1) and (2,2) and are obtained from the 7 character string "#{formula}dtDDDD" This does not cover all variations for the edge and centreline squares, so the first character of the string is calculated from the formula 'XdTdT'[(i+j)/3].
(k=-7..7).map{|y|
k.map{|x|
i=x.abs;j=y.abs
print (i%7-j%7)%4<1? #IF this expression is true print a letter
"#{'XdTdT'[(i+j)/3] #select 1st character of magic string where [i%7,j%7].min==0
}dtDDDD"[[i%7,j%7].min]: #remaining 6 characters of magic string for diagonal
?. #ELSE print .

How it works
The string "T2d3T3d2T.D3t3t3D3D3d.d3D2d2D3d3D2d4D5D5t3t3t3t3d3d.d3d2T2d3" describes the board from its top left corner to the square just before the 'X', with consecutive empty squares encoded as digits. The replace() function both unpacks the empty squares and builds the mirror string r for the bottom of the board. Then both parts are put together and carriage returns are inserted every 15 characters.
Demo
let f =
_=>(r='',"T2d3T3d2T.D3t3t3D3D3d.d3D2d2D3d3D2d4D5D5t3t3t3t3d3d.d3d2T2d3".replace(/./g,c=>(c=+c?'.'.repeat(c):c,r=c+r,c))+'X'+r).match(/.{15}/g).join`

Explanation
The code follows three main steps:
Generate the 8x8 matrix
4 0 0 3 0 0 0 4 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 3 0 3 0 0 1 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 3 0 4 0 0 3 0 0 0 5Extend it to the 15x15 matrix
4 0 0 3 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 3 0 0 4 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 3 0 3 0 0 0 1 0 0 3 0 0 1 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 1 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 3 0 3 0 0 0 3 0 0 4 0 0 3 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 3 0 0 4 0 0 3 0 0 0 3 0 3 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 1 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 1 0 0 3 0 0 1 0 0 0 3 0 3 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 4 0 0 3 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 3 0 0 4Index the string
'DtdTX.'with that matrix to produce the desired result.
Step 1
4 % Push 4
t: % Duplicate, range: pushes [1 2 3 4]
g % Logical: convert to [1 1 1 1]
2I5 % Push 2, then 3, then 5
v % Concatenate all stack vertically into vector [4 1 1 1 1 2 3 5]
Xd % Generate diagonal matrix from that vector
Now we need to fill the nonzero off-diagonal entries. We will only fill those below the diagonal, and then make use symmetry to fill the others.
To fill each value we use linear indexing (see this answer, length-12 snippet). That means accessing the matrix as if it had only one dimension. For an 8×8 matrix, each value of the linear index refers to an entry as follows:
1 9 57
2 10 58
3 11
4
5 ... ...
6
7 63
8 16 ... ... 64
So, the following assigns the value 4 to the lower-left entry:
K % Push 4
8 % Push 8
( % Assign 4 to the entry with linear index 8
The code for the value 3 is similar. In this case the index is a vector, because we need to fill several entries:
3 % Push 3
K % Push 4
23h % Push 23 and concatenate horizontally: [4 23]
32h % Push 32 and concatenate horizontally: [4 23 32]
( % Assign 4 to the entries specified by that vector
And for 2:
H % Push 2
14 % Push 14
( % Assign 2 to that entry
We now have the matrix
4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
3 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
0 2 0 0 0 2 0 0
0 0 3 0 0 0 3 0
4 0 0 3 0 0 0 5
To fill the upper half we exploit symmetry:
t! % Duplicate and transpose
XR % Keep the upper triangular part without the diagonal
+ % Add element-wise
Step 2
The stack now contains the 8×8 matrix resulting from step 1. To extend this matrix we use indexing, this time in the two dimensions.
8: % Push vector [1 2 ... 7 8]
7:P % Push vector [7 6 ... 1]
h % Concatenate horizontally: [1 2 ... 7 8 7 ... 2 1]. This will be the row index
t % Duplicate. This will be the column index
3$ % Specify that the next function will take 3 inputs
) % Index the 8×8 matrix with the two vectors. Gives a 15×15 matrix
Step 3
The stack now contains the 15×15 matrix resulting from step 2.
'DtdTX.' % Push this string
w % Swap the two elements in the stack. This brings the matrix to the top
) % Index the string with the matrix

With 4ÝJ".TdtD"‡, we transliterate the following in this big number:
0 -> .
1 -> T
2 -> d
3 -> t
4 -> D
We bifurcate the whole string, leaving the string and the string reversed on the stack and join them by "X" using ý. We split the entire string into pieces of 15 using th 15ô code and join the whole array by newlines using ».

A horribly, awfully, inefficient way of doing things. Currently looking into a way of shortening it down by mirroring both horizontally and vertically properly.
