[Urist the Dwarven Pirate]

I feel dumb for not knowing how to do this.  How do I start arena mode? 

[lemon10]

open the game, select the object testing arena. from there its pretty simple to figure out

[Urist the Dwarven Pirate]

I don't see that option anywhere. Is it on the start screen or do I need to be in Fortress mode?

is in the start screen.

Right when DF starts, Skip the movies. Then, theres the menu. Good luck, And Good Fighting!

It's right above the "quit" option on the main menu.  You're probably looking under the "start playing" menu, which only shows legends, adventure and fort mode.

Took me a couple tries before I found it...

Thats odd.  Above my quit option is "Design New World With Parameters"
I wonder if coping my old 40d init file over my 2010 init could be the problem.

You can turn the arena on and off via init.txt. You might want to look there.

EDIT: I just checked. [TESTING_ARENA] should be YES.

That was the problem right there.  I had just copied  my old init to get my resolution settings they way I wanted them.  Put the 2010 init back in and now every things they way it should be.  Now to see what combat is like!
