./createNG --iPwdList pw.txt
WARNING: Either errors or warnings occured. Enable print warnings to see these.

./createNG -w --iPwdList pw.txt

I don't see any error message here. I see a warning only. You can change the verbosity of OMEN to find out what the issue is. I guess you forgot to filter your input file for ASCII only characters. Learn how to do this here:

I don't know.

Try to rename the file pw_pw_ascii_16.txt to password-training-list.txt or input.txt

Also try --verbose and --printWarnings to get more details.

Looks good so far. What happens if you start the enumeration after your training?
e.g. ./enumNG -p -m 10000

Sorry but this is not a support forum.
OMEN is a scientific proof of concept, not a hash cracking software like hashcat / JtR.

Regarding your question:
