TheSpaceLeviathan,
something is wrong with your folder structure.
If it were correct, this line should be in your log file:
Code
[MT] Loading script "addons/catalogs/planets/MySystem.sc"

But it is not.

The folder structure should look something like this:


If you have upper-case letters in the folder names, correct them to lowercase letters.

TheSpaceLeviathan,
is the filename like this:
'MySystem.sc.' (With a dot at the end)
or so:
'MySystem.sc'

If there is a dot, remove it.

JackDole, There is no dot at the end of my file. The only thing I notice is that some of my SE files are saved under a different drive:

TheSpaceLeviathan,
then copy the folder 'addons' into the 'SpaceEngine' directory on this drive.
Maybe that helps.

JackDole, This still isn't working. I will try again tomorrow, but I'm going to get some rest today.

I'm also going to reinstall the game. Maybe it will work after that.

Have you installed Space Engine on the C: drive?
Install it on another drive. For example, on D:

JackDole, I just installed it onto my D: drive, and some things were looking different and more like they should, but when I tried to make my planet, it once again did not show up. One thing I noticed that was different was that instead o the planet orbiting around RS #-#-#-#..., it said it was orbiting around A. However when i changed "A" to "Chara," I still came to the same results.

TheSpaceLeviathan,
a '.pak' file is an archive file, just like a '.zip' file.
More specifically, a '.pak' file is a '.zip' file that has been renamed to '.pak'.

You can easily create a '.pak' file yourself.
You just need to create a '.zip' file and rename it to '.pak'.

The folder structure in the '.pak' file is the same as the subfolders in the folder in which it belongs.

The 'Catalogs0980.pak' belongs to the 'data\catalogs' folder, so the top level of its structure is as follows:



A '.pak' file for an addon, which usually simply belongs to the 'addons' directory, has, for example, these structures:

Code
catalogs\clusters
        \nebulae
        \planets
        \star
models\nebulae

There may be more subfolders, for example, for galaxies and spaceships and so on.

If you make a copy of a '.pak' file and rename it in '.zip', you can view the contents in the Windows Explorer.

JackDole, When I open up Catalogs0980.pak, it opens in notepad and shows this:



And when I try to compress it so that it shows me the contents in a folder-like structure, it just does this:
