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
