Configuration

Due to issues with different version of vim and different package managers, and different .vimrc files, there may be issues with the filetype detection of the .xci files. A simple way to ensure that vim properly detects .xci files is by use of an autocommand:

	autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.xci set filetype=xci

Placing the above code in .vimrc should force the filetype to detect properly.

Features

Not only does this plugin provide typical syntax highlighting, but it also comes with a special hex_tile filetype that will attempt to highlight hexidecimal tile and sprite data as to mimic the colors in the default XCI palette:

To use this feature, simply open a hex file and use the command :setfiletype hex_tile.

To change the colors to use a different palette, you will need to redefine the colors of the highlight groups in vim using the highlight command:

	highlight hexTileCol3 ctermbg=cyan guibg=cyan

There is a separate highlight group for each hex character. They are:

• hexTileCol0
• hexTileCol1
• hexTileCol2
• hexTileCol3
• hexTileCol4
• hexTileCol5
• hexTileCol6
• hexTileCol7
• hexTileCol8
• hexTileCol9
• hexTileColA
• hexTileColB
• hexTileColC
• hexTileColD
• hexTileColE
• hexTileColF
