All right.

Thank you

Sincerely,
Shima

What you parameterized was formaldehyde, not a formyl adduct group.  I believe I said before to make sure you were deriving parameters appropriately, which it appears you are not.

I don't understand what you're asking here.

The .rtp entry specifies the necessary atoms.  In your case, for a formyl group, you need 3 atoms - C, H, and O.  I suspect that this addition will change the amino acid residue to which it is attached, in which case you are better off deriving a completely new amino acid residue, or at least verifying that your new addition does not affect the charges of the existing amino acid (unlikely).  I recommended this before; please make sure to heed all available advice before plowing ahead and doing something that doesn't make sense.  It wastes your time and the that of others who are seeking to help you.

This is incorrect.  The CA atom is part of valine, thus it is the next residue and must also be prefixed with a + sign, as in the case of N.  Using - (minus) indicates the previous residue, + the next, and no sign is the present residue.  The correct line is:

O  C  +N  +CA
