I have backed up only the save file of the game and missed the WorldGeneration file firstly I could not start my game after windows restart but since the world have two players me and my friend so he got the world files I copied the file from him but even then there were multiple like DTM.raw file missing I actually tried to just copy the DTMprocessed.raw file and rename it to DTM.raw file it actually let me get into the game with minor problems but now I can't access my drone veachiles, Doors that I placed(I locked them) but somehow I can actually access the steel crates I placed , I also tried to generate the world from world seed which were in the XML file that I copied form my friend but in the files world generation seed were nothing in the XML file and there was another seed called world seed so I tried to use that but it didn't generate the right world not even the right name of the world.

 
It sounds like you've mixed some files up. So, the files for the world that other players have isn't the world, it's data about the world they received generally speaking (yes you do transmit the world, but it's not in a "playable" state like that, otherwise people could cheat when connecting to public servers). So, that won't work.

I'm sure you know this, but let's break it down:

  • The full save: GeneratedWorldName/GameSaveName/all the files for the same
  • The generated world: GeneratedWorlds/GeneratedWorldName

The save needs the generated world, and it needs to match completely. The other issues you seem to be having are because you used files for the generated world that were not complete (again, if they come from your friend, they won't be what you need), and the game was just trying to do what it could to get it working. The best bet is to try to generate the seed again on your machine. I would try tinkering in the advanced RWG generator to try to get the same seed name and leave everything default (if you did originally). 

 
Thank you mam but even if it sounds stupid the game actually worked with those files and all the problems mention are gone. The files which were missing like DTM.raw splat3.png, splat4.png , I just took the processed file of the same which were present in my friends files and renamed them to the files like DTMprocessed.raw to DTM.raw , splat3processed.png to splat3.png splat4processes.png to splat4.png , the game do not have any major problem after that. 

              Appreciate your reply I am glad that my so many hours of save files were not gone. 

 
In addition I would also like to ask out of topic really but we are playing in a local game but we both have console commands available even though the game show me as the admine my friend can also use all the admin command I would like to know if its possible to desable admine commands

And yes creative mode is off but still both of use can use cheats

Ah, well that can be one of two things: the game is set to Creative, and/or you both have admin rights. You can find the admin save document in serveradmin.xml inside the saves folder, just remove your friend or the both of you from there, and turn Creative mode off in the menu and you should be good to go there. You can do this through the console too, 

admin remove Jugginator


for example, while your friend is online in the game. Otherwise you'd have to use the entire EOS tag, which I would suggest just going to the serveradmin.xml file since that's a long string of characters to have to type.
