Hi Mareike, Did you also use Coot to fit the small molecule into the structure? If so, there might be some glitch at the stage of writing out the remodeled ligand... Do the coordinates for the small molecule look different within the input and output pdb files for the ligand when you look at the files manually?
Yes, you do need to specify the top and param files in the input file so that the connectivity and atom parameters for your ligand are output correctly by generate.inp. Only other thing I can think of immediately is that the generate.inp file gives two choices for coordinate output format (either CNS format or O). Try writing out both ways and see if that helps. Couple of quick things to check.
