Have you tried with those available on the internet, before trying to generate 
it by yourself?

You determine. In principle it depends on how many angular momenta you include 
in the non-local part of the PP (i.e., if you include s and p, then choose 
nld=1, if you include also d then you need nld=2, ...). This does not influence 
the final PP data, but it helps you to understand if your PP is a good one or 
not.

You determine. This flag is used to select how the local part of the PP is 
built (either from the smoothed all-electron KS potential - the default - or 
from a smoothed KS wavefunction - if lloc>=0). Different choices are possible 
here, it is not easy to give a general advice (you might have a look into 
Paolo's notes, there should be something:

What about 5d and 4f?

P.S.: of course this forum is quite friendly and informal, but maybe not to
