Concerning the building of a FF library, you might be interested in
reading information about the Tripos mol2 file format:

& the use of LEaP for molecular fragments

It depends what is the strategy you applied to develop your fragment
(it might not be an integer) and which type of fragment you decided to
built.
For instance:
- the charges for a central/terminal fragment for a modified
amino-acid (AA*) should be indeed an interger (for standard charge
derivation)
- the charges for a central fragment for a modified nucleotide (Nuc*)
should also be an interger (for standard charge derivation)
- the charges for a terminal fragment for a modified nucleotide (Nuc*)
should _not_ be an interger (for standard charge derivation)
- you could imagine your own strategy here (non-standard charge derivation)
You can easily check that using LEaP:
xleap -f leaprc.ff99
charge ALA => integer
charge NALA => integer
charge CALA => integer
charge DA => integer
charge DA5 => not integer
charge DA3 => not integer; but DA5 + DA3 = integer
Using R.E.D. the building all those fragments is quite simple.
You provide a P2N file generated using Ante_RED.pl:
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-1.php#3
Then to execute R.E.D. you add in this file the INTRA-MCC keyword to
define the intra-molecular contraint(s) you want to used to define the
central fragment of your AA*, and/or the INTER-MCC keyword to define
the inter-molecular contraint(s) you want to used to define the other
fragments (terminal AA*: 1 INTER-MCC; central/terminal NUC*: 2
INTER-MCC)
See the tutorial:
Central fragment for AA*:
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-1.php#10
terminal fragment for AA*:
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-1.php#13
other fragments for Nuc*:
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-1.php#14
With R.E.D.-IV, a user will be able to build all those different
fragments in a single step in a multi-molecule charge fit: modified
amino-acid + modified nucleotide + modified sugar...
