I deleted the stars and planets but it still won't show up
For me, your script generates this:

I have no error messages in my se.log, and no warnings. You have a bunch of shader warnings in your log. Maybe you should update your video driver. Version 391.35 seems to work. (Not all Nvidia drivers work!)

Everything else in Space Engine works pretty well. And I still have a laptop so I don't think I can update my driver, unless that's software not hardware.

ZeGamingCuber, something is wrong with the format in which your script is saved!
Your script looks like this for me:

My slightly modified script looks like this::

The different code coloring indicates that the editor does not recognize your commands as SE commands. I have no idea what the reason is.

Try my version of the script.

Oh, s... When I change your script to UTF-8, it looks like this:

yeah, it's a non-breaking space. Being not a regular space, or tabulation, it's signaled as an error by SE.

Whatever I decided to make a new star cluster and that worked

Now I'm trying to make a binary black hole system with a planet orbiting one of them, but I only got this weird invisible O0 0 star where the barycenter should be. No black holes at all.

For a double black hole you need something like this:

// Binary Blackhole

StarBarycenter "Double Hole"
{
     RA 0.32678
     Dec -70.15424
     dist 97.5
    
     Class "X"
}

(Put this in 'addons\catalogs\stars')

It is important in the StarBarycenter to specify the class, ie Class "X'', otherwise you will get an 'O0 0' star.

That didn't fix it, the barycenter became a black hole with randomly generated planets

Of course you also need a script with the two black holes.
Like this:

// Binary Blackhole
// JackDole

Star "Alpha"
{
    ParentBody  "Double Hole"
    Class       "X"
    
    MassSol     4
 
    AccretionDisk{}
    
    Orbit
    {
        SemiMajorAxis   2.1428571428571e-05
        Period          1.336306209562122e-7
        Eccentricity    0.001353
        Inclination     5.174108
        AscendingNode   0
        ArgOfPericenter 55.0149
        MeanAnomaly     0
    }
}

Star "Beta"
{
    ParentBody  "Double Hole"
    Class       "X"
    
    MassSol     3
    
    AccretionDisk{}
    
    Orbit
    {
        SemiMajorAxis   2.8571428571429e-05
        Period          1.336306209562122e-7
        Eccentricity    0.001353
        Inclination     5.174108
        AscendingNode   0
        ArgOfPericenter 235.0149
        MeanAnomaly     0
    }
}

(Put this in 'addons\catalogs\planets')

You also have to add a planet if you want one.

Is there a way to create space stations and surface bases?

Oh, I see my mistake. I put the two black holes in stars instead of planets.

EDIT: Nope still not fixed.

here's the script:
Planet "Shred"
{
ParentBody "Shredder A"
Radius 16000 // or Mass 1.5
Orbit
{
SemiMajorAxis 20.5 // or Period 2.2
}

}

Star "Shredder A"
{
ParentBody "Shredder" // = name of StarBarycenter in the stars catalog
Class "X" // black hole “spectral class”
MassSol 150.0 // in Solar units, radius will be computed automatically
//Lum 0.0 // a black hole has zero luminosity – don’t specify any // rotational parameters
Obliquity 16
EqAscNode 64
RotationPeriod 1.0e-7 // black holes rotate really fast!// accretion disk
AccretionDisk
{
Radius 0.002 // in AU
Temperature 3000 // in Kelvin
Luminosity 150 // in Solar luminosities
Brightness 1 // render brightness scale
Density 9 // some magic value
TwistMagn 90 // some magic value
}

Star "Shredder B"
{
ParentBody "Shredder" // = name of StarBarycenter in the stars catalog
Class "X" // black hole “spectral class”
MassSol 7.0 // in Solar units, radius will be computed automatically
//Lum 0.0 // a black hole has zero luminosity – don’t specify any // rotational parameters
Obliquity 16
EqAscNode 64
RotationPeriod 1.0e-7 // black holes rotate really fast!// accretion disk
AccretionDisk
{
Radius 0.00002 // in AU
Temperature 3000 // in Kelvin
Luminosity 150 // in Solar luminosities
Brightness 1 // render brightness scale
Density 5 // some magic value
TwistMagn 20 // some magic value
}

I see 2 closing brackets missing

ZeGamingCuber · 30 Apr 2018 15:29

Nvm It turns out I just forgot orbit parameters

ZeGamingCuber · 30 Apr 2018 15:48

now on the planet I'm trying to add life but it won't appear in-game.
Life part of script:
Life
{
Class "Organic"
Type "Singlecellular"
Biome "Marine"
Panspermia "False"
}

(the planet is an oceania, so, of course, I wrote marine)

30 Apr 2018 16:28

Type – development level of the life:
“Unicellular” – unicellular.
“Multicellular” – multicellular.
