Weapon sprites being cut at the top

Well, I don't know where to post it. Chances are it's again me, who's doing something wrong, but I'm going to ask...
Why is this weapon being cropped at the top of the screen? No matter how large graphic I do insert, it's always being cut:

Probobly it being too big I think..

Doesn't seem likely - I have no problems using PNG graphics over 800 pixels tall as weapons.

Because it's hi-res

Well, this is most likely not related to the picture's size, but to offsets. Seems like you can have a 2000x2000 pixel large image, as long as it does not reach the upper edge of the screen. It's not being cropped (after paying more attention to my PNG I notcied it really has this godawful grey stripe at the top), it's being scaled to fit under the 50 pixel (or something like that) bar that resides at the top of the Doom screen.

I'll just animate the weapon so it doesn't reach that high... *sigh*

That might not be the problem. I have seen a few weapons, mostly from LilWhiteMouse, where the guns extend all the way to the top of the screen, and some even beyond.

Graf? Any thoughts?

EDIT: broken texture scaling support through HIRESTEX is a known issue, but that doesn't seem to be the problem either because your sprite already appears to be scaled. Hmmm...

I need the WAD to see what's wrong here.
