+The ```projectile source height offset``` is a vertical offset specifying from where projectiles should be launched.
+> This is set to some positive values for the Elite Guard and Mutated Cyborg, so that their projectils appear from their heads.
+
 The ```frame time``` specifies the time of a single frame of an animation. A value of ```0xFF``` means a time of approximately 0.9 seconds. 
 
 For all ```sound indices```, a value of ```0xFF``` indicates "no sound".
 > No enemy has a sound set for pain in the main game.
 
+```Frame count``` appears to determine how many frames are available per viewing direction. Cyberspace entities, as well as unused critters, have this set to ```0x01```, all others have ```0x08```. Changing these values messes up rendering of the critter, and/or all subsequent critters. The sequence of the corresponding images will have to be adjusted accordingly.
+
 The ```secondary attack probability``` determines how likely the critter will use its secondary attack when close to the hacker. ```0xFF``` means always, ```0x00``` will have the critter use the secondary attack only when farther away.
 
+The ```interrupt probability``` determines how likely the critter will be interrupted when being hit. ```0xFF``` means always, ```0x00``` will have the critter execute its attacks and movement without interruptions.
+
 > The ```random loot selection``` appears to be an enumeration value (ranging from ```0x00``` to ```0x0E```), pointing into a hardcoded pool of possible loot.
 > Which parameters go into the loot selection are not known - meaning whether the engine considers the current level, or the state of the hacker (health, inventory). As a rule of thumb, the quality of the loot somewhat increases with the number, though there are exceptions.
 > Refer to the set values of the main game to see how they are used.
