Yes, Sir!

sorry i must be dumb or something but i couldnt modify the water pumps correctly, i set the Water Produced on 30.000 and 400.000 for Regular Waster pump and Large Water pump respectively, but in game i get a 2172384726387 water produced. When i put my mouse over the icon though, it displays the capacities correctly, 30.000 and 400.000.

What am i doing wrong ?

Bulldoze the old pumps in the game and replop them.
This needs to be done every time you mod a ploppable building.

[gabrielbyrnei]

already tried that, built a brand new water pump.

At least that worked in the city I just tested it in...
It already had a water tower built, and I placed a modded version of it in my plugins folder,
with the capacity increased from 2,400 to 5,000.

Back in the game, the one that was already built in the city still had a capacity of 2,400.
After I bulldozed it and replopped it, the new one had a capacity of 5,000.

Did you change any other properties in addition to the Water Produced?

I have a related mass transit/menu question.  Simulator Z quadruples the monthly cost of subways, but someone recently noticed that the increased cost was not reflected in the menu item.  (I always use Shift-T for subways, and apparently no one had noticed this before.)  So I made a copy of the Subways exemplar from SimCity_1.dat and changed the property "Catalog Monthly Cost (float)" from 0.3 to 1.2.  It worked fine - the new value shows up in the menu now.  Only one problem - there are now two menu entries for subways right next to each other, both with identical information, and they both work.  I tried deleting various combinations of the properties SubmenuKey: Networks: Miscellaneous Transport Menu, Item Icon, Item Order, and Item Icon ID, and also tried setting Item Icon to zero.  However, the combinations either had no effect (there were still two items), crashed my game, caused the message "Missing Thumbnail" to be displayed in two consecutive icons instead of the subway picture (never saw that one before!), or simply left a blank space in the menu where two icons would fit.  Is there a way to change only the one subway menu item?

For some reason, doubled exemplar files for network items cause doubled icons in the menu. This also happens if you have two copies of the NAM installed, for instance. Have a look at the custom menu plugins that were included into the NAM. Back then, Tropod used a method by making the default icon invalid (deleting most of the properties) and create a new instance with different ID. You would have to do the same for all instances where you want a different label for the cost.
