If you have some sort of library file (mol2, Amber prep, or OFF library
file) that you generated at some stage, then the atom types are read
directly from that file.
If you have an input PDB file, you can use something like OpenBabel to
generate a mol2 file and then use a script (or just a text editor with a
clever macro) to modify the atom types in the resulting mol2 file. (Note,
you will still have to assign the charges somehow).
It would help us if we knew what you were actually doing (and, as usual, we
need the exact commands, their sequence, and any error messages you get as
well as the relevant input files).
Good luck,
Jason
