to day i was looking troght some mapfiles in Patch mpq and i saw there was ADTs but no WDT´s only Wdl´s  what is the difference and wy use the Wdt as all tutorials say ?

Mjollna:
You have a full doc here :

http://www.pxr.dk/wowdev/wiki/index.php?title=WDL

The basic idea is that both files have a totally different role.

- Wdl represents the low res mountains you can see far away when you're walking on a map ingame.
- Wdt helps the game to know if there's an adt at a particular place or not. If adt/wdt don't correspond, you're sure to get the client to crash.

Patches add new (or modify) content to what's already here in pre-existing mpq, so that's why you don't have all kinds of files in every patch.

Steff:
And WDTs are also can hold WMO positions and NO ADTs for WMO only Maps. Like raids or inis without any ground.
