Not exactly a lot of mod support for an old game like this, so I don't really know where to look. But does anyone know how to open and edit .gs files and how to repack a .mpq file? Or in general, how could I edit the gs.mpq file and have it work?
Thanks.

Notepad++ is generally a more convenient tool.
It allows to keep track of brackets, which is sometimes essential for debugging, and has some other good options.
As for an alternative for mpq editor, there is Ladik's editor which is supposed to compile new archives from scratch rather than replacing files in the existing ones, but it can work too. The only problem with Ladik's editor is increasing the size of mpq every time the file is replaced.

WinMPQ is better for on-the-fly edits.
Ladik is good for compiling new archives from a folder.

That was helpful, thanks. What's the name of the file or files that controls the cheats?

Everything is displayed in alphabetical order in WinMPQ and I don't see PANEL.GS or PANELS5.GS in the list.
