Finding IDS

I got this information about the Anubis engine from the IFSO files.

3166825668 = ge_oe_engine_01, Anubis Engine

I need the IDS number for the Liberty Dreadnought Engine. (3166825668 for the Anubis Eng.)

What utility do I use to find that info?

The info does not show up in the engine_equip.ini files and I'd like to make the engine selectable in IFSO for my mod.

I appreciate the response, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm aware of the ID numbers available in the *.ini's. Apparently the number I need is another one completely. If you have IFSO take a look at the GAMEDATA_engines.txt file. You'll see that it uses a different number.

Where do those numbers come from?

I need the IDS number
this was why I thought you needed the IDS number, which is the shorter one.

My mistake. Sorry for the confusion.

What I want to do is be able to use IFSO to put a Liberty Dreadnought engine on a player's ship (Eagle). Don't ask why... I just want to figure out how to do it without requiring a client-side mod.
