Haha, finally, after getting distracted during the process and playing some SC2 3v3 with a couple of friends, I finally finished it. Tested, and it works. So, here it is!
Instructions (also included in the archive):
A conversion of the Windows StarCraft II cursors made by iMisu, adapted to work in
X11, mainly for Linux users. Each supports many localizations, including English,
Korean, Spanish, French, German, and Russian. More can be added upon request.
If it cannot detect your system language, or if it is not supported, it will
default to English.
To install these icons, go into terminal, and run:
sudo nautilus /file/path/to/shared/icons/
For Debian-based distros, this tends to be "/usr/share/icons/". Hence, you would say:
sudo nautilus /usr/share/icons/
Then, extract the "SC2-Green" folder in this archive to your desktop. Drag it into
the nautilus window, and the cursors are installed. They can be selected and applied
in GNOME by going to System > Preferences > Appearance > Theme > Customize >
Pointer, and selecting "SC2 (Green)".
Please note that you may need to restart X for some of the cursors to properly load.
EDIT: I've also included a tar.gz archive for simpler installation, if you have the proper tools.
No, I can't use them because they're animated cursors, correct? Yeah, xcursorgen doesn't convert that to X11.
EDIT: Upon attempting to get gursormaker (which does accept ani) running, I had to install the python module "Numeric". Upon installing "NumPy", formerly known as Numeric, I attempted to run gursormaker. It will only recognize Numeric, which doesn't work anymore, not NumPy, even though they contain the same things. Unfortunately, I'm back to working with xcursorgen in the commandline. It's harder, but at least it works. It'll take more time, unfortunately.
The first set of X11 conversions is done! It's all the Green cursors, minus the loading one. Still can't figure out how to convert .ani for X11 without making a GIF image for each frame, and even that can't be recompiled I don't think. Anyways, here it is. Instructions for installation and usage will be posted here, as well as in a text file in the archive.
EDIT: Ack! I quickly tested the cursors before uploading them. They're pretty messed up. I know what went wrong, but I'm gunna need about 5 minutes to fix them.
EDIT2: Actually, instead of using the somewhat complex, easy-to-fault "xcursorgen" program in Terminal, I'm going to try using gursormaker. It's graphical, and claims to be simple to use. Good think I've converted all the cursors (and rendered a few of my own) ahead of time as PNGs. I could upload what I've rendered, if you'd like. Simple things, mostly, though.

These are awesome. I'm working on some X11 conversions right now, so more people can use them.
