If I understand you, you have a cyclopeptide with a N-methylated
valine. Right?
If so, you need to start by creating the dipeptide of this
N-methylated valine; i.e. create the PDB file for:
CH3CO-NMeCHRCO-NHCH3 ; CH3CO = ACE and NHCH3 = NME
here you need to decide which conformation(s) you want to use in
charge derivation and FF library building.
Then, you use R.E.D. Server/Ante_R.E.D. 2.0 to generate the P2N file
starting from the PDB file.
At this point you need to add in the P2N file the charge constraints
that leads to the central fragment of this N-methylated valine:
You have to set 2 intra-molecular charge constraints (INTRA-MCC
keyword) set to zero.
See

Whole molecule Fragment
CH3CO-NMeCHRCO-NHCH3 ---> NMeCHRCO
<---> <--->
2 intra-mcc = 0
Finally you run R.E.D. III.x or R.E.D. Server/R.E.D. IV to get the
mol2 file for the NMeCHRCO fragment than can be included in your
cyclopeptide.
You could decide to generate with this central fragment, the
N-terminal & C-terminal (although they are not needed _if_ you want to
study a clycopeptide):

These 3 fragments can now be automatically generated using R.E.D. Server:
