quad damage is only triple damage

[Cryptic]

do you guys know how to count? 5>15 should be 20. 8>24 should be 32. 6>18 should be 24...

It's been triple since Quake released in 1999, learn your history.

Everyone called it quad, just x3 for balance, they could have changed the name for tri instead I guess.

Quake came out in 1996 and the multiplier was 4 then.

// check for quad damage powerup on the attacker
	if (attacker.super_damage_finished > time)
		damage = damage * 4;

Same for Q2.

Q3 added g_quadfactor to change this and the default has always been 3 (even in 1.01)
