Hi,

Sorry, I can't do it for you. You can try asking the authors if they are
willing to share their tip4p.itp file, but otherwise you need to understand
how the paper the developed the mathematical model that used the parameters
it reports, and after reading the relevant parts of chapter 5 of the
GROMACS reference manual, see what values you need to transform and/or
replace in the modified form of tip4p.itp.
