Everytime I get killed the games crashes.. any ideas what's causing this?
thanks in advance!

Err.. Fixed the problem.. It's because I removed this line:

::: CODE :::

if(Keyboard[sc_Tab] && viewsize == 21 && gamestate.weapon != -1)

why does it happen?? I want to have a full screen with a hud =\ without seeing that annoying cyan boarder... any way to move it??

Which game? Your own source? Need a little more info to go on..???

My game, and the source that's on chaos-software.. I'm just trying to remove that function. I want that statbar to appear even when I use full screen.
But when I put this code in:

::: CODE :::

 // if(Keyboard[sc_Tab] &&
(viewsize == 21 && gamestate.weapon != -1);

it works good but the game crushes everytime I get killed... And I wanted to know how to remove the blue boarder in the 20th viewsize. the 21st is the full screen that you need to press Tab to see the statbar..
Thanks in advance!

by commenting off that line, whatever line was underneath it will be executed regardless of whether or not tab is pressed I think that's what's going on anyway.

I don't think the last line has anything to do with the game crashing..
those are the last lines after:

::: CODE :::

//
// show screen and time last cycle
//

    if (fizzlein)
    {
        FizzleFade(screenBuffer, screen, 0, 0,
            screenWidth, screenHeight, 21, false);
        fizzlein = false;

        lasttimecount = GetTimeCount();          // don't make a big tic count
    }
    else
    {
#ifndef REMDEBUG
        if (fpscounter)
        {
            fontnumber = 0;
            SETFONTCOLOR(7,127);
            PrintX=4; PrintY=1;
            VWB_Bar(0,0,50,10,bordercol);
            US_PrintSigned(fps);
            US_Print(" fps");
        }
#endif
        SDL_BlitSurface(screenBuffer, NULL, screen, NULL);
        SDL_UpdateRect(screen, 0, 0, 0, 0);
    }

#ifndef REMDEBUG
    if (fpscounter)
    {
        fps_frames++;
        fps_time+=tics;

        if(fps_time>35)
        {
            fps_time-=35;
            fps=fps_frames<<1;
            fps_frames=0;
        }
    }
#endif
}

I just want to play the FULL SCREEN mode (view size 21) with the HUD :\
can anyone please help out here?
thanks.

When you die the gamestate.weapon is set to -1.
When ShowActStatus() tries to draw that weapon it crashes.
That's why ShowActStatus() is only called when the player is not currently dying (gamestate.weapon != -1).

Your above code

::: CODE :::

 // if(Keyboard[sc_Tab] &&           // WRONG
(viewsize == 21 && gamestate.weapon != -1);
ShowActStatus();

always executes ShowActStatus().
You probably wanted it to be

::: CODE :::

if(viewsize == 21 && gamestate.weapon != -1)
    ShowActStatus();

which will only show the floating hud in full size mode and when the player is not dying.

If you want the hud to still be displayed, when the player dies, you have to use

::: CODE :::

if(viewsize == 21)
    ShowActStatus();

and the following changes:
