Points per rank increase

I've been playing a couple mods. In each, when your general or agent increases in rank, they'll each give you a different amount of points to distribute.

I was wondering if someone could briefly explain how you alter the points? And if you would be so kind... dumb it down a bit(as if you were talking to a 10 year old):whistling

I did search for an answer but all I could find was how to change rank ie: from 1 star to 4. I'm interested in awarding more points when a rank does increase. Maybe the answers right in front of me but I haven't modded stats since MTW2 and am not sure how to get to the files any longer.:duh:

Thanks!

Edit: Found what I was looking for with a google search. Mods feel free to lock/delete this. Thanks all.
