| After 2 days of editing and testing, and thanks to the help of HarbingerDawn and Destructor1701, here is the Interstellar system.
This is highly buggy, it has 3 oblate stars clipped inside a black hole with adjusted coronas.
Functionality is not guaranteed
Known bugs and issues are:
Accretion disk is yellow not orange, clouds don't look the same as in screenshots (this is because I use Reshade and a custom cloud shader, both are available on these forums if you use the search function)
Screen flickering
Vanishing accretion disk
Jumpy warped skybox
Offset planetary orbits and glitching black hole with orbits enabled
Crashing
Different exposure settings ruin the look of the accretion disk
General instability with wildly changing framerate
Warp shader makes warp effect on white dwarf stars highly reduced
Can't fly ships in the system without them being pulled into the black hole. You need to use "UFO" and/or "Gravity" cheats.
Planet temperatures are wrong(especially Miller's)
Planet orbits/rotations/etc are wrong(?) (honestly don't care about this)
There should be a neutron star (feel free to add it yourself)
Gargantua's rotation speed is wrong (feel free to fix it yourself)
Gargantua should be 10billion light years from Earth (don't care about this either so I crammed it in one of our neighbors)
Can see the sun disks (can't be fixed without messing other stuff up)
And many other issues I won't bother fixing at this time. This addon was simply an experiment so use at your own risk.
How to install
blackhole_warp.glsl goes in system/shaders (rename 2325627.glsl to blackhole_warp)
Interstellar.sc goes in Catalogs/Stars
InterstellarSys goes in Catalogs/Planets
Add the following to the Universe.cfg in the config folder
Under the stars section
"catalogs/stars/Interstellar.sc"
Under the planets section
"catalogs/Planets/InterstellarSys.sc"

| Nice work! This is great picture-making material.
One question, if you don't mind me asking. Is it possible to get the accretion disc to appear procedurally? Or do you deem it too unstable for that to happen?

No.
If you know how to edit catalogs you can do the same method to any and all cataloged black holes or stars.

| That is insane! Great work, Doctor! I'll be sure to mess around with this once I get home from school.

| Very nice addon, DoctorOfSpace, it works fine with no crashes so far for me! However, strangely, Gargantua doesn't have any planets!
And I have a question: How did you get the idea to locate the system inside the Large Magellanic Clouds?
I will be inactive on this forum for the time being. Might come back eventually

The planets orbit the barycenter named "GargaBary" when set to orbit the black hole there were some issues.

It still doesn't show any planets, yet the barycenter, the black hole and the 3 oblate "stars" do show up. Anyways great experimental addon!

| I must say the system looks incredible specially the movie itself. Also do you think black hole disks will look like this in some future update?

Doubtful.

It's supposed to be in some other galaxy and I was lazy.

| okay, first: big up for creating this!
..i know that i'm making a massive fool out of myself here but please tell me HOW do i even find the system after installing? i searched for "Gargantua", "GargaBary" and all the planet's names but couldn't find them! does this mean i did not install it properly?
greetings

It means you didn't edit the Universe.cfg file or you put the catalogs in the wrong directory.

| I'm having a hard time installing this.
I don't quite understand how it works, because every time I try to open up a folder to enter these settings, it just shows random symbols.
