Right now, the save file for portals is just a .db file which is actually a text file with all values separated by a colon. The format should be improved to make it easier to add and remove portal information, or make it easier to change the entire format.

It would be possible to save it as JSON, using SQLite, or perhaps using YML. The best format would depend on which is easiest to implement and is the most maintainable. Migration must exist for the current portal format to the new one.

Improving the format would remove the necessity for some empty and useless values, allow for a more scale-able configuration, make it possible to use more special characters in portal names, and making the adding of new portal data or options less error-prone.
