Simple Faction Nameplate addon

Core Functionality

• Detects nearby players and displays the official Horde or Alliance faction icon above their nameplate
• Horde players get the Horde crest, Alliance players get the Alliance shield
• Uses a triple player check (UnitIsPlayer, UnitIsConnected, and GUID matching) to ensure the icon only appears on real human players — never on NPCs, pets, or mobs regardless of their faction affiliation
• Works alongside Plater nameplate addon

Config Panel

• Accessible via Escape → Interface → AddOns → SimpleFactionNameplates
• Three sliders with input boxes for precise values:
  • Icon Size — controls how big the faction icon appears (16px to 96px)
  • X Offset — moves the icon left or right relative to the nameplate (-500 to +500)
  • Y Offset — moves the icon up or down relative to the nameplate (-500 to +500)
• Toggle H / A Preview button to switch between Horde and Alliance icons in the preview
• Live preview panel showing a fake nameplate bar so you can visualize icon position and size before committing
• Warning text reminding you a /reload is required for changes to take effect in-game

Settings

• All settings saved account-wide and persist between sessions via WoW's SavedVariables system
• Defaults to icon size 48px, centered horizontally, 60px above the nameplate
