Hi Cenk,
I was trying to reproduce what you were doing, and you are right about the
improper messages, but it is not an error, they are just warnings and your
topology and coordinate files should be saved without any problem.
If you do the same process without loading the parmbsc0 forcefield and
libraries and with a verbosity of 2 you will see some warning about
improper dihedrals (except those involving atom type CI).
The only thing that I would change in the parmbsc0 library is the
perturbed atom type for atom name C5' which should be CI and is CT,
but you don't have to worry about it if you are not using a perturbed
topology file.
Hope it helps.
Alberto
